DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ("Lewis Carroll"). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. London: [Richard Clay for] Macmillan, 1866.
8o (191 x 126 mm). With 42 illustrations by John Tenniel. Original red cloth, gilt-stamped, spine gilt-lettered, edges gilt (rebacked preserving original spine, minor wear to extremities); half morocco slipcase. Provenance: E. Hubert Litchfield (bookplate).
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 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); it is this version which formed the basis for all future Macmillan editions. A nearly fine copy (for this book). PMM 354 (note); Williams-Madan-Green-Crutch 46.
