Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Carroll, Lewis. (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co., [n. d. but 1907]. First American De Luxe Edition illustrated by Arthur Rackham. With a "proem" by Austin Dobson. Limited to 550 numbered copies…SIGNED by the publisher of which this is #114. Large quarto. Thirteen full-page tipped-in colored plates with all tissue guards present, illustrations sized much larger than those found in the first trade edition. This large paper edition is 162pp and measures 11 1/2" x 9 ¼." Original publisher's quarter dark green cloth over light green boards lettered in gilt with a small onlay image of Alice affixed to the upper board, t.e.g. A VERY FINE copy in ORIGINAL GLASSINE DUST JACKET still residing inside its matching green ORIGINAL CARDBOARD GIFT BOX. Virtually as new and untouched, an astonishing survival. In 1907, after more than forty years, Lewis Carroll's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland entered the public domain. That year, many new editions of Alice's Adventures were free to be published. Of those, Arthur Rackham's 1907 illustrated version is arguably the most iconic (and the most sought after) visual interpretation of Alice outside of the original Victorian era drawings by John Tenniel. In thirty years of selling Lewis Carroll desiderata, this is the first time we've ever seen the Doubleday Edition De Luxe in its original glassine DJ (much less with its original gift box). Also included, an example of the first American Trade Edition (c.1907, printed in England) as a reading copy. Rackham, Arthur (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
