DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ('Lewis Carroll', 1832-1898). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. London: Macmillan & Co., 1866.
An exceptionally bright and appealing copy of the second (first published) edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, first issue with page 30 correctly numbered, the earlier pale blue endpapers, and the inverted 'S' in the last line of the Contents page. The first edition of 2,000 was recalled by Dodgson, following the unsatisfactory printing of Tenniel's illustrations, and was never offered for public sale. Richard Clay re-set this edition from a copy of the 1865 Alice, and it is this version which formed the basis for all future Macmillan editions. PMM 354 (note); Williams 10.
Octavo (191 x 127 mm). Half-title, frontispiece and 41 further illustrations from the woodcuts by Dalziel after John Tenniel (a few very faint marks, short tear in blank margin of half-title). Original red cloth, gilt-stamped, spine gilt-lettered, gilt edges, Burn’s binder's ticket on lower pastedown (lightly restored); red morocco-backed slipcase gilt. Provenance: ‘Alfred G. Balfour’ (inscription on title).
