Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
No date; circa 1921. Large 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" design. Beige cloth boards, black impressed cover and spine titles, borders, some shelf wear, rub. Front board with oval mounted color plate w/looking glass borders depicts Alice rising to chase rabbit as he pulls pocket watch from his jacket. Pages generally very good; some toning to exterior text block. Antiquarian inscription at half-title page: "Love to Joan, from Mommy, Xmas 1921." Bind good; hinges intact. Front endpaper features dynamic two-page spread of the assorted Wonderland characters running after Alice w/b.g. of golden cherub fountain and Cheshire cat looking smiling down from sky. Back endpaper spread features color collage of Alice surrounded by characters in various scenes. This classic edition is charmingly illustrated w/color plates by Edwardian artist, Margaret Tarrant, regarded as one of the finest illustrators of children's books. Forty-eight colour plates on smooth coated paper enchant the viewer throughout. Many unique to this volume. Margaret Tarrant was a prolific children's book illustrator and author best known for her imagery applied to myths and fables such as Alice in Wonderland and Andersen's fairy tales. Tarrant's artistic style is heavily fairy-tale orientated and often features motifs of mythical animals and beings. Her soft dreamy illustrations are exemplified in this volume and portray the extent of her talent. Lewis Carroll's classic begins on a boring summer afternoon when the bright and inquisitive Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom, she finds herself immersed in a bizarre world full of strange creatures and bizarre goings-on. She tries pills and potions, and attends a very strange tea party and croquet match. An immensely witty mix of satire, puzzles, and drama and one of literature's most astute depictions of the experience of childhood. At back, a dozen pages of adverts for available titles from Ward, Lock, & Co. Made in England. 332 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 021204
