Hardcover. Condizione: 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.

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.

Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. 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, first impression, 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. Some fading and bubbling to covers, spine slightly soiled, corners slightly bumped, minor restoration to spine and hinges, some browning and foxing throughout; a very good copy.

First Black Sun Press edition, an extranumerary copy of the deluxe European issue, lettered "F", signed by the artist on the colophon, and with a supplementary suite of the illustrations in sanguine, of which five are signed by Laurencin in purple pencil, as issued. The colophon, which states that 20 numbered copies of this deluxe issue were released in Europe, does not mention lettered copies. This was the first illustrated book of the foremost French artist Marie Laurencin (1883-1956), whose celebrated queer illustrations are "characterized by a palette of pastel colours and feminine subject matter" (Summers, p. 208). Producing Alice in this aesthetic caused "a considerable shock to those brought up on Tenniel" (Tebbel, p. 625). Laurencin hosted other famous artists at her home in Auteuil, where she "reigned like a queen, with her cat, whom she said was the model for all her female faces. As she became popular, her influence was felt in the world of fashion and interior design" (Fine, p. 173). Of the edition, 420 copies were designated for the US and 371 for Europe. The issues comprised 650 copies on Rives paper, 100 on Japanese vellum, 40 signed copies on Hollande Van Gelder with the sanguine suite (as here), and a single copy on Vieux Japon with the extra suite alongside the original lithographs. This copy retains its original jacket, chemise, and slipcase in superb condition. Minkoff A39 (misprinted as A34). Elsa Honig Fine, Women & Art, 1981; Claude J. Summers, ed., The Queer Encyclopedia of the Visual Arts, 2004. Oblong quarto. Original cream wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in red and black, publisher's black-and-red device on rear cover, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. With the original glassine jacket. Housed in the publisher's silver paper and card chemise and slipcase. Frontispiece and 5 plates in colour lithography, this issue also with a duplicate suite of the 6 illustrations printed in sanguine and bound at the end, all with tissue guards and by Marie Laurencin. Text printed in red and black. Faint spotting to fresh wrappers; glassine jacket with a couple of chips and tears but very well-preserved; chemise and slipcase slightly toned and handled: a near-fine copy in like jacket.

hardcover. Condizione: near fine. Laurencin (illustratore). Limited. Illustrated with 6 color lithographs by Marie Laurencin printed by Desjobert of Paris. Oblong 4to, 3/4 red morocco binding over patterned boards, gilt spine lettering and decorations, with a small inset of a white rabbit on the side panel, top edge gilt. Paris: Black Sun Press, 1930. Limited Edition. Of an edition of 790 copies, this is one of only 20 copies with a duplicate set of plates in sanguine. Five of the extra plates are signed in pencil by Laurencin, who has also signed the colophon page, which states that this is number 19 of the American Edition. Although the binding is unsigned it was likely done by the Bennett Book Studio which did a number of similar ones. Fine, in a leather-tipped slipcase which is missing the top edge.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. William Cameron Menzies (illustratore). 1st Edition. Mimeographed manuscript of the Joseph L. Mankiewicz screenplay. Illustrated with six hundred and forty two pages with drawings and designs by William Cameron Menzies with an additional eight page prologue and four page epilogue. Original brown paper wrappers (the cover title page and half title page are detached). This massive and heavy 646 page screenplay (13 3/4" x 8 1/4", 3 inches thick) turned out to be impossible for the cast to handle and a more traditional 200 page version was designed for use on the film, the illustrations were removed and the text reset. 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. See pages 134-149 in James Curtis' "William Cameron Menzies" book for details on the filming of Lewis Carroll's classic books.

"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).

Dodgson, author, mathematician, and photographer, whose writing meant a great deal to him; writing was the main course by which he could do something for others, to fulfil a deep religious desire to contribute something to humanity?it was his offering to God. 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.

THE AUTHOR OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND, LAMENTS: ?IT IS HELPFUL AND COMFORTING, WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH SKEPTICISM, AND EVEN ATHEISM, AROUND ONE IN OXFORD, TO KNOW THOSE TO WHOM CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ONLY A REALITY, BUT THE REALITY OF LIFE.? DODGSON, CHARLES L. [LEWIS CARROLL]. (1832-1898). English logician, mathematician, photographer, and novelist, especially remembered for Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871). Revealing Autograph Letter Signed, ?C.L. Dodgson? Four full pages, small octavo. ?Ch[rist] Ch[urch]? Oxford, England. March 18, 1894. Very fine condition. To ?My dear Mrs. Egerton? Dodgson writes: ?Your letters make me feel more and more glad that I have been allowed to add you and your girls to my list of friends. It is helpful and comforting, when there is so much skepticism, and even atheism, around one in Oxford, to know those to whom Christianity is not only a reality, but the reality of life. I shall like to come and have some chats with you. You ask if I think it ?right? to make a rule not to see Pantomimes in Lent. Surely, in one sense of the word. But the word is used in two senses (as of course you know): (1) a thing which it is wrong not to do; (2) a thing which it is not wrong to do (and also not wrong not to do). The first sense means ?it is a duty?; the second ?it is allowable? ? I think it ?right? in the second sense of the word: but I need not say that, if I thought it ?right? in the first sense, I would not go myself. But questions like this belong to the ?Church? observances, and rules of human origin ? not to the essence of Christianity. ? As life draws on to its end, I seem to feel, more and more, that all Christians, Church, and Dissent alike, are brothers (and sisters) and should love each other as such. Sincerely yours, C.L. Dodgson. My cold is better, I thank you for your kind wishes.? A most interesting letter from Dodgson?s pen. Letters where the author reflects or comments on their own personal religious beliefs rarely make it to market. In this letter, Carroll clearly approaches the topic with the mind of a mathematician and the beliefs of a theologian. Wikipedia adds some information which further reveals important background information to the possible contradictions expressed in Dodgson?s own position. They state: Charles?s father was an active and highly conservative cleric of the Church of England who later became the Archdeacon of Richmond and involved himself, sometimes influentially, in the intense religious disputes that were dividing the church. He was high church, inclining toward Anglo-Catholicism, an admirer of John Henry Newman and the Tractarian movement, and did his best to instill such views in his children. Young Charles was to develop an ambivalent relationship with his father?s values and with the Church of England as a whole. The British definition of Pantomimes is: a theatrical entertainment, mainly for children, that involves music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy and is based on a fairy tale or nursery story, usually produced around Christmas.

Moser, Barry (illustratore). 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.

Rackham, Arthur (illustratore). Quarto. xi, 162pp., + 12ff. plates. One of 1,100 copies. Because Rackham was away from London while this book was in production, most copies of the deluxe edition went unsigned; however, this copy has been signed by Rackham on the limitation page. Contains thirteen large tipped-in color plates and many black & white drawings, which offer Rackham's distinctive, new interpretation of scenes made famous in Tenniel's classic illustrations, such as Alice's encounter with the caterpillar, the Caucus Race, and the Mad Tea Party. Hudson describes Rackham's undertaking as "the most controversial of his career," but concludes that "he has certainly made the greatest impression of all Tenniel's multitude of successors." The book opens with a "proem" by Austin Dobson that cheekily addresses the challenge of illustrating such a classic work, saying, "here comes a fresh costumier" to interpret the story according to his own taste. In the publisher's gilt-stamped white cloth bearing the title and a design of the Gryphon and Mock Turtle on the front cover. Cloth shows light finger soiling and minute toning to spine and endpapers; rear hinge started. T.e.g. A pleasing copy overall. (Latimore & Haskell, p. 28; Hudson, pp. 70-78).

Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Issued separately, each folio volume is limited to 350 numbered copies signed by the illustrator and accompanied by an additional suite of wood engravings, with each print signed by Barry Moser, in a linen-covered chemise. A matching set, both volumes in this pairing are number 270. 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, respectively, over marbled paper-covered boards. Each is housed with the chemise of prints in its own morocco-backed linen clamshell box, which are a little discolored along the extremities (as usual). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, were the first two in a series of four folio editions of classic texts printed at the Pennyroyal Press. Both sold out almost immediately and have remained the most popular of Moser's oeuvre ever since. The text was edited by Selwyn Goodacre, with a preface and notes by one of America's leading Victorianists, James Kincaid. A whimsical production and among the greatest achievements of late 20th century American book design.

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. Signed by Author(s).

192 pp. With Forty-two Illustrations by John Tenniel. 12mo, in a modern designer binding in full inlaid morocco, a.e.g. by Starr Bookworks. Preserved in a custom quarter morocco slipcase and chemise. First American edition, first printing; second issue with the cancel Appleton title page. 1 x 2" section of the upper right corner of the title page expertly replaced (owner's name removed?) This copy has the title page with the "B" in the second "By" above and slightly to the right of the "T" in "Tenniel," and the hyphen in "Rabbit-hole" on the Contents page. No priority for these variants has been reliably established.
