Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. In 1865 Macmillan printed this book in England and recalled it because John Tenniel, the illustrator considered the printing of the illustrations unsatisfactory. After consulting with Tenniel, Lewis Carroll authorized Macmillan to sell 1,952 bound copies to Appleton in New York with a new title page replacing Macmillan with D. Appleton and dated 1866. The new title page was tipped onto the excised stub of the Macmillan 1865 edition. Top edge and fore edge gilt. A few small waterspots on the front cover. The half title page has some writing on it and the lower fore edge corner has had a professional repair of the lower fore edge corner not affection the text. Spine a little darkened otherwise a tight copy. Michael Hancher, author of The Tenniel Illustrations to the "Alice" Books was in the shop this summer and examined our copy of this book. There is a census of the extant copies of the 1866 Appleton Alice as announced by John Lindseth in PBSA some time ago that is still a work in progress. He goes on to say, "Extant copies of what has become known as "The Appleton Alice" have turned out to become quite elusive. The British Library is the only institutional holder found in the UK. Some seventy institutional holders are found in the United States and Canada and one in Switzerland. Fewer than twenty private holders have been identified. Our copy may add one to that small number. In his note Lindseth distinguishes four different states of the text, which apparently have no priority. Hancher goes on in his email to write, "I also attach two pages from the new chapter about "Printing" in the revised edition of my Tenniel book. Apparently the image quality for the illustrations of the suppressed Macmillan printing of 1865 (which got recycled as the Appleton edition of 1866) varies from copy to copy and image to image, depending on how much ink leaked through from the printing on the other side of a particular leaf. Tenniel must have been given - and rejected - one of the worse copies. Had he been given your copy he might not have balked." 1st American edition / Ist edition, second issue.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
Folio (220 x 354 mm). (3), A1-8, 642, 4 ff. Mimeographed typescript and storyboard comprising 642 illustrations by William Cameron Menzies. Extra-illustrated with 44 black and white production photographs. Contemporary giltstamped full red morocco, spine gilt in compartments. Signed by 27 members of the cast. Copy owned by Charlotte Henry, the actress who played Alice, signed and inscribed by her to another girl on the frontispiece photograph: "To Ann Waddington from Alice in Wonderland / Charlotte Henry". De luxe copy, owned by "Alice", of the script to the 1933 Paramount Pictures adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic. The script appears to have been available in a numbered edition (number 22 was sold at Sotheby's in 1975) and an un-numbered edition for members of the production (cast-member Ronald "Baby LeRoy" Overacker's copy sold at Bonhams, Los Angeles, in 2019); both were bound in wrappers. The present specimen is a sumptuously bound, extra-illustrated edition for the actress who played the title character, featuring not only 44 inserted black-and-white production photographs (captioned on the reverse), but also the signatures of 27 cast members on the half-title. - Despite an all-star cast including Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, Gary Cooper as The White Knight, W. C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Edna May Oliver as the Red Queen, Edward Everett Horton as The Hatter, Charlie Ruggles as The March Hare, and Baby LeRoy as The Joker, the film adaptation proved a famously unsuccessful experiment by Paramount. It remains the only major live-action Hollywood production to adapt Carroll's original "Alice" stories. Charlotte Henry (1914-1980) enjoyed her first leading role as Alice, beating over 6,800 other actresses who auditioned. The recipient Ann Waddington, to whom Henry gifted her sumptuous memento, is unidentified. - The American film director, screenwriter, and producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909-93) enjoyed a long Hollywood career. He is best remembered for "All About Eve" (1950), which was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six. William Cameron Menzies (1896-1957) was a hugely influential production designer and art director. He received an Honorary Academy Award "for outstanding achievement in the use of color for the enhancement of dramatic mood" in "Gone With the Wind". - Occasional tears to some leaves, some photographs with creases and tears, occasional child's scribbles. Hinges professionally restored. A unique survival.

Alice's Adventures were "born on a golden afternoon" in July 1862, when the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) took the three small daughters of Dean Liddell of Christ Church on a boating trip up the Isis. Carroll delighted the three children by relating Alice's adventures, and eventually promised his favorite among the three, Alice Liddell, to write the story down for her. Through the Looking-Glass can be seen as a mirror image of the Alice's Adventures. For example, the latter begins outdoors in the warmth of May 4 and uses the imagery of playing cards, while the former begins indoors on a snowy, cold November 4 and uses the imagery of chess. "The two Alice books completed the reinstatement of the imagination, so long disapproved of by the opponents of fairy stories, to its proper place. 'Alice is, in a word, a book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come until the language becomes obsolete'" (Carpenter & Prichard, 102).

First German language edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author "Margaret Evelyn Hardy, from the Author" on the half-title. The first foreign language translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published in February 1869 before a French translation of August 1869. The original English text was first published in 1866. Williams, Madan, Green, and Crutch praise the illustrations in this edition and note "the reproductions of the woodcuts in this German edition are excellent, and bear comparison with those in any other issue of Alice in Wonderland". The contents listing exactly copied the pagination of the English edition so that for every chapter except the first, the page numbers are incorrect. Gathorne-Hardy, 1st Earl of Cranbrook, (1814-1906) became known to Carroll's Oxford circle in 1865 when he was nominated to stand in the Oxford University constituency. There were three candidates: William Gladstone, William Heathcote and Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy. Carroll records signing a voting paper in his diary for 10 July and Jackson's Oxford Journal for 15 July notes that "Dr Dodson [sic], of Christ Church" voted for Gladstone. The final result was Heathcote 1331, Gathorne-Hardy 767, and Gladstone 735 votes. The election prompted Carroll to write his Dynamics of a Particle (1865) comprising a satirical pamphlet masquerading as a mathematical treatise in which chapter two refers to the contest between Gathorne-Hardy and Gladstone. The politician was responsible for Carroll's admittance to the public area of the House of Commons on 8 April 1867, and when Gathorne-Hardy visited Oriel College, Oxford, Carroll invited him to Christ Church to have his photograph taken. Carroll noted in his diary on 10 June 1867 "He had not long to spare, but I succeeded in taking two pictures of him, neither of them, I fear, particularly successful". Gathorne-Hardy had married Jane Orr in 1838 and they were to have four sons and five daughters. On 24 June 1867 the politician wrote to Carroll stating "my little girl's names are Margaret Evelyn, and I am sure she would dearly treasure Alice in English and French, but has no right to tax you for both". At the time of writing, there were no foreign language translations. A correspondence between the two men commenced and, in time, Carroll certainly sent both English and French editions of Alice. This inscription in an unrequested German translation is previously unknown (unrecorded by Carlson and Eger). Another hand other than Carroll's has added the date of 1871. Carroll continued to send copies of his books to Margaret: she also received an inscribed copy of Through the Looking-Glass dated Christmas 1871 and a copy of The Hunting of the Snark with an inscription dated 24 April 1876. Carroll's diary entry for 12 September 1877 records a visit by the author to the Hardy family to "meet Evelyn again (she is now 'Miss Evelyn')" when he "walked on the Parade with Mrs. Hardy and Misses K. and E." Williams, Madan, Green, and Crutch 71; Carlson and Eger, Dodgson at Auction 1893-1999, 1999. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, pictorial roundels and triple-line borders to covers in gilt, brown coated endpapers, binder's label ("Burn & Co") to rear pastedown, all edges gilt. Frontispiece and 42 illustrations by John Tenniel.

Octavo, mid-20th century full red morocco, elaborately gilt-decorated spine, raised bands, all edges gilt. $14,500.First authorized English edition of Carroll's cherished romp through the realm of nonsense, illustrated with 42 engravings by John Tenniel, handsomely bound by Riviere & Son, with original cloth-gilt at rear."More than a flare of genius," Alice's Adventures in Wonderland "was the spiritual volcano of children's books" (Darton, 260). "Historians of children's literature universally agree that [its] publication marks the liberation of children's books from the restraining hand of the moralists" (Carpenter & Prichard, 102). A mesmerizing masterpiece of comic nonsense, Alice also demonstrates Carroll's gift for recognizing "the child's inner fears, wishes, intelligence and imagination. He unleashed thousands of children's minds and invited them to laugh" (Silvey, 124). "It is, in a word, a book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come until the language becomes obsolete" (Sir Walter Besant).

After resigning his mathematical lectureship in 1881, at the age of forty-nine (he retained his studentship and resident privileges at Christ Church to the end), he devoted himself primarily to his writing. Often standing at his upright desk (he calculated that he could stand and write for ten hours a day), he turned out a myriad of works. See ODNB.

Moser, Barry (illustrator). Two folio volumes. 150pp.; xxv, 160pp. Each one of 350 copies signed by Barry Moser. Alice is illustrated with 75 wood engravings by Moser, and Through the Looking-Glass contains 95 engravings by Moser. Some of the engravings are full-page plates, while others are beautifully integrated into the layout. Alice bears a presentation inscription on the colophon to a patron, and Moser has added a characteristically detailed pencil drawing of a key. Every illustration in Looking Glass is pencil signed by Moser. Both volumes also come with an additional suite of the wood engravings, each print signed by Moser, in a linen-covered chemise. Both volumes are printed in five colors on a paper specially made for the Press by Strathmore Mills, with calligraphy by G. G. Laurens. The type is Bembo, in blue, black, and red. Bound by Gray Parrot in quarter purple morocco and crimson morocco and marbled boards, respectively. Each is housed in its own morocco-backed linen clamshell box. This was the first in a series of folio editions of classic texts printed at the Pennyroyal Press. It sold out almost immediately and has remained the most popular of Moser's oeuvre ever since. The edition was based on Carroll's corrections to his original text, and the additional commentary was written by one of America's leading Victorianists, James Kincaid. The University of California Press issued a trade edition of this publication which is considered a classic in its own right.

Original buckram. Zustand: Very Good. Arthur Rackham (illustrator). first Rackham edition. DELUXE LIMITED EDITION. WITH: RACKHAM INK DRAWING of the Gryphon. The book: "Rackham embarked on his new edition of Alice in Wonderland, with illustrations to rival John Tenniel's, when the book came out of copyright in 1907. Rackham's advantage over Tenniel was that now he could introduce colour; also his pen line would not be reproduced by wood-engraving. This gave him some new freedoms for invention, but his amendments to the ingrained image of Alice were not only technical. Rackham's Alice was very much a fleshly Edwardian child who would question the status quo of Wonderland. Her courtesy carried an undercurrent of insistent argument. A contemporary critic observed 'a tender, flickering light of imagination in [Alice's] eyes' (Daily Telegraph, 27 Nov 1907). (Dictionary of National Biography). This deluxe limited edition is number 1030 of 1130 copies, unsigned as issued. (Rackham was out of the country when the book was published and did not sign the edition.) Complete with thirteen large tipped-in color plates and many black and white drawings. In what is almost certainly the exceedingly rare original "windowed" slipcase: We can only find records of very few references to the original slipcase, although numerous copies exhibit the patch of rectangular discoloration corresponding to the cut-out opening of the slipcase, designed to display the gilt title and the gilt cover illustrations of the turtle and gryphon. The drawing: Laid-in is a large pen and ink drawing of the gryphon, signed by Rackham ("ARackham") and dated ("07") the same year as the book. The drawing is similar to the one on page 119 of the text, but is larger and with much more detail. Size: sheet = 7 1/4x9 (184x228 mm); image = approx. 5 1/2x7 in (136x180 mm). London and New York: William Heinemann and Doubleday, Page, & Co., 1907.Quarto, original white buckram gilt, likely original marbled slipcase with morocco edges and cutout displaying the title and illustrations on the front panel. Drawing laid-in. Book with mild rectangular "ghosting" from where the cloth was exposed when in the slipcase; mild toning to spine and a few stray spots but cloth exceptionally clean and bright. Corners a little bumped. Slipcase with general rubbing to marbled paper and chips around the frame of the cutout. Matte for one plate with small abrasions at gutter. Text and plates nearly pristine. Drawing was previously framed, resulting in toning to paper where it was exposed (ink crisp and fine). A beautiful copy of a Rackham classic, with a unique Rackham ink drawing.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland An Early Edition in a Superb Multi-Colored Inlay Binding by Kelliegram [KELLIEGRAM BINDING]. CARROLL, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With Forty-Two Illustrations by John Tenniel. Twenty-Ninth Thousand. London: MacMillan and Co., 1872. Twenty-Ninth Thousand printing. Small quarto (7 x 4 5/8 inches; 178 x 117 mm.). [xii], [1]-192 pp. Wood engraved frontispiece with original tissue-guard, numerous wood-engraved text illustrations. A few very light marginal smudges, otherwise fine. Bound ca. 1910 by Kelliegram of London, stamp-signed in gilt on rear turn-in. Full hunter green crushed levant morocco, the covers beautifully decorated with multi colored leather inlays depicting ten different Alice characters. The front cover with a large central inlay of the Mad Hatter, surrounded by Father William's Son, the Dodo, the Mock Turtle and the Duchess, all within a gilt-stamped frame. The rear cover similarly decorated with a large central inlay of the White Rabbit, surrounded by the Mouse, the Duck, the Eaglet and the Cheshire Cat, all within a gilt-stamped frame. Spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt ruled board edges and turn-ins, ochre silk liners and endleaves, all edges gilt. An amazing whimsical binding. "Kelliegram bindings were one of many innovations of the English commercial binding firm of Kelly & Sons. The Kelly family had one of the longest connections in the history of the binding trade in London, having been founded in 1770 by John Kellie, as the name was then spelled. The binding firm was carried on by successive members of the family into the 1930s. William Henry Kelly significantly developed the company in the first half of the nineteenth century, followed by William Henry, Jr., Henry, and Hubert Kelly, who took control in 1892, taking the firm into the twentieth century.The development [during the 1880s] that came to be known as Kelliegram was one of the bindery's most notable, and the popularity continues today as demonstrated by the prices Kelliegram bindings command at auction and in the rare book trade. An interesting note: The story of the first actual printing of Alice in Wonderland. Encouraged by his friends, Reverend Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, first had Alice published by Macmillan & Co. and printed by the Clarendon Press in June 1865, arranging to have a specially bound copy delivered to Alice Liddell, the famous Alice for whom the story was spun, the next month on July 4. However, not several weeks after that, John Tenniel, the illustrator, wrote to Dodgson complaining of his dissatisfaction with the printing of his illustrations. Macmillan examined one of the unbound copies of the book and agreed to fully reprint the book using a more commercial printer from London, Richard Clay. The condemned printing was then sold to David Appleton & Co., an overseas publishing house who wanted to distribute copies of the book in America. Only 1,952 copies were sold to them of the original 2,000 copy print run. The title-pages were redone with a New York imprint dated 1866, the sheets were machine-folded and put into cloth bindings with Appleton's name on the lower spine and the new title-page substituted on a stub for the earlier one. Meanwile, Macmillan completed its new edition in November 1865, but post-dated this printing 1866 in time for the holidays. As of this writing, twenty-two copies of the original 1865 Alice are located and known to have survived with their original title-pages plus one copy presented to Christ Church Library, currently lost, by the author.
