Alice Wonderland Through Looking Glass by Carroll (Over 4,300 results)

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.

First editions. Two volumes. Finely bound by Charles Elsden Gladstone in elaborately decorated full brown morocco, the spines with 5 raised bands and titles in gilt. Gilt decorated inner boards, marbled endpapers. Binder's initials stamped in gilt to the lower inner front board. All edges gilt. The publisher's cloth bound in as the front and rear pastedown of Through the Looking Glass. Illustrated with frontispieces and 90 illustrations across the two volumes by John Tenniel. The four page leaflet 'To All Child Readers of Alice In Wonderland', originally issued loosely laid in to first editions of Through the Looking Glass, has been retained and bound in. Some spotting and a couple of tiny closed tears to the margins of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, otherwise a fine set. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the first published edition, the second overall: the book was originally printed in Oxford at the Clarendon Press in June 1865, but was suppressed when Carroll heard that the book's illustrator was dissatisfied with the quality of the printing. He recalled the few pre-publication copies he had sent out to his friends and donated them to hospitals, where most perished. Only 23 of those original "1865 Alices" are now extant, mostly in institutional holdings, thus creating one of the most famous black tulips of book collecting. The book was entirely reset by Richard Clay for the present authorized Macmillan edition, the earliest edition that can be realistically obtained. Although dated 1866, the edition was in fact ready by November 1865, in time for the Christmas market, and was published in a print run of 4,000 copies. The copy of Through the Looking-Glass is the first edition; like its predecessor, it was published for the Christmas market and bears the following year's date in its imprint. It was actually published in December 1871, in an edition of 9,000 copies. Charles Elsden Gladstone (1855-1919), the creator of these exquisite bindings, had a long and distinguished naval career, during which he rose through the ranks from Midshipman to Commander. Service papers record his expertise in advanced submarine weaponry and photography. That he was reportedly engaged in covert intelligence gathering recently prompted P. J. M. Marks, the British Library's Curator of Western Bookbindings, to refer to Gladstone as "a bookbinding James Bond", 007 another ex-Navy Commander with access to cutting edge technology and working undercover. Gladstone's bookbinding activities his overcover work, if you will appear to have been a labour of love, there being no evidence that he profited, or sought to, from such work (his navy salary and pension were both generous). While researching Gladstone, Marks was unable to uncover the origins or development of his impeccable craftsmanship, skills ordinarily requiring years of apprenticeship under an established binder. Marks did, however, find Gladstone's name "included in the annals of specialist societies relating to microscopy and optical magic lanterns, interests which suggest he had a keen eye and feeling for accuracy." And an eye for accuracy was clearly imperative for the intricacy and precision of Gladstone's elaborately tooled book designs, each stamped discreetly with the initials C. E. G. in gilt to the verso (undercover) of their upper boards. (P. J. M. Marks, 'The mysterious Captain Gladstone, RN a bookbinding James Bond?'

Original brown paper wrappers (the cover title page and half title page are detached).

While Norman Z. McLeod is credited as director, Menzies stepped in to direct when McLeod became ill during the filming (Curtis, page 142). Very good. A Lewis Carroll rarity. Provenance: estate of actor Baby LeRoy who appeared in the film as "Joker" at the age of two.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an early printing. Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There is an early printing. Illustrated by John Tenniel, text illustrated. A very nice set. 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).
