DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ("Lewis Carroll"). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. London: [Richard Clay for] Macmillan, 1866.
8o (192 x 128 mm). Illustrated by John Tenniel. (Some minor marginal browning and pale spotting). Original red cloth, gilt-stamped, spine gilt-lettered, g.e., Burn & Co. binder's ticket on rear pastedown (spine darkened with a little wear to ends, hinges cracked, some blistering to cloth on covers); quarter morocco slip case.
Second Edition (i.e. First Authorized edition) and First Published English Edition, in the earliest state with pale blue endpapers (rather than the more usual dark green), with inverted "S" in the last line of the Contents page. For this new edition the book was re-set by the printer Richard Clay from a copy of the 1865 Alice (prepared by The Clarendon Press, Oxford); this version was the model for all future Macmillan editions. PMM 354 (note); Williams-Madan-Green-Crutch 46.
