This is the first authorized edition, often cited as the second edition and was published in November, 1865, (some say issues were ready as early as September 1865), preceding that of the New York 1866 edition by six months. "The first edition, familiarly known to book-collectors as 'the 1865 Alice', was printed at the Oxford University Press. This edition was at the last moment canceled by the author, for whom MacMillan's were publishing 'on commission' (i.e. as agent, not sponsors) because of what was considered the poor printing of Sir John Tenniel's almost equally famous illustrations. The few early copies sent out were recalled; seemingly with fair success, since less than a score are known to survive today. The book was then reprinted, by Clay, with the title-page re-dated 1866, and this constitutes the first regularly published edition" (Printing and the Mind of Man).

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.

Hardcover. John Tenniel (illustrator). Two volumes in original full blue morocco and original full red morocco leather bindings with heavy gilt decorations. Each is copy #509 of 1500 copies with the original John Tenniel illustrations and with typography and binding by Frederick Warde who has SIGNED the first volume. Each copy is additionally SIGNED by Alice Hargreaves, "the original Alice." Only about 500 copies of the first title and about 1000 of the second were signed by her a few years before her death. Alice refused to sign other editions of this famous book in her lifetime, written by Carroll for her when she was young Alice Liddell, but she was convinced with the help of monetary compensation at an advanced age to sign these copies. Many have praised these books, but perhaps novelist Sir Walter Besant's remark on ALICE IN WONDERLAND is the most insightful: "It admits us into a state of being which, until it was written, was not only unexplored but undiscovered." Very mild sunning to the spine of the Wonderland book. Fine, bright copies in Fine slipcases. Exceptional condition.

Octavo, two volumes, uniformly bound in full red morocco, all edges gilt, gilt titles and tooling to the spines, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, raised bands, original cloth bindings tipped in to rear of each volume. 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).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Carroll, Lewis [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]. ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. New York: Grosset & Dunlap, [c. 1915]. First Deluxe oversized (9.5" x 7") Film Photoplay Edition, issued in tandem with the 1915 Silent Film based on the two Lewis Carroll classics. There exists also a smaller trade edition, the first time ever that a movie tie-in printing had been produced in two versions, regular and deluxe. The film was produced by the American Film Manufacturing Company and distributed by the Non-Pareil Film Company, adapted and directed by W. W. Young and starring Viola Savoy. Inside can be found 32 inserted black & white stills from the movie, plus a color frontispiece. A Fine, bright, unworn copy retaining the exceedingly rare Photo Art Dust Jacket which has some light chipping and wear but no restoration or repair. Complete with the original (slightly damaged) 1915 Gift Box which is the only example of this beautifully illustrated box which we've ever encountered. As part of the prelims, there is an account of the film's invite-only opening night at the Strand Theater in New York City. The original film still exists (and can be seen online) minus most of the Looking Glass segment which has been lost over the years. This book is surely the best imaginable artifact in book form of the first full-length (52 minutes) Alice film adaptation. It is arguably a lone survival with the original gift box, but inarguably a truly rare find for those seeking a deluxe edition of this illustrated Alice in dust jacket.

Published by the Croatian fine press, Amaranthine Books, in a limitation of only 260 copies. Signed by Marko Matijasevic (creative concept) and Damir Mazinjanin (illustrations). 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Removed from publisher's shrink wrap but as new o/w and will be sent in publisher's protective packaging. This copy is number 109 and comes with the 'swag' that was only available with books purchased directly from Amaranthine: Alice-themed playing cards and notebook (sealed in publisher's shrink wrap). 'Alice' is draped in luxurious, blood-orange, textured fabric, featuring intricately woven illustrations on the covers, and it comes in its own handmade and fully enclosed slipcase. Despite its delicate looks, the material is very durable and water-repellent. The illustrations on the covers were created using a jacquard technique, which means that hundreds upon hundreds of small threads were woven in order to produce the optical illusion. Also, each cover was placed on the book block by hand. As for the slipcase, it uses the same type of fabric as the covers and it boasts copper foil stamping of the title on its side. Creative concept for this edition is based on the idea of putting the reader into Alice's shoes. All twenty of Damir Mazinjanin's illustrations are from Alice's point of view; each pulling you a bit further into the story and showing the plot from a unique angle. Besides these twenty, of which two are full-spread illustrations, there are certain illustrated bonuses, like small chapter illustrations and an illustrated surprise that can be found in the middle. This surprise is placed there since the two sequels are fused into one book, each beginning on one cover and ending in the middle. This is also a small tribute to the Looking-Glass world, so it seemed fitting for this edition. Another thing that heavily influenced the creative concept was Lewis Carroll's love for math and logic, which he loved to bend, twist and break in his writing. That was channeled through the use of optical illusions on the covers, which do exactly that kind of thing to logic in the real world. We wanted the slipcase to completely protect the book, so it's fully capped, and hides a small surprise when you look into its cap. Also, with each copy comes a transparent Cheshire Cat bookmark, should you need any guidance on your reading adventures. This is a truly unique and extremely tactile version of 'Alice' which was limited to 250 copies, sold out quickly at the publisher, and is scarce on the secondary market. A must have for collectors. Heavy/oversize book. U.K. postage at default charge but overeseas buyers may be asked for extra postage. All orders are professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured. Signed by Artist.
