DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge (1832-1898, "Lewis Carroll"). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. New York: [Clarendon Press, Oxford for] D. Appleton, 1866.
8o. Half-title. Electrotyped frontispiece, and 42 illustrations from the woodcuts by Dalziel after John Tenniel. Original red cloth, gilt-stamped, spine gilt-lettered, edges gilt (slightly rubbed, tiny split along rear joint); red morocco slipcase. Provenance: Elizabeth Almy Slade, New York (signatures on front free endpaper and half-title); Margaret S. and Edwin Paul Shattuck (bookplate); Perry Molstad (bookplate); Richard Manney (bookplate; his sale Sotheby's New York, 11 October 1991, lot 106).
FIRST EDITION, second (i.e., the American re-) issue, comprising sheets of the suppressed 1865 printing of Alice with new title-page; the variant (no priority) with the "B" in "By" above the "T" in "Tenniel" on title-page and with hyphen in "Rabbit-Hole" on contents page. "This second issue comprises those copies of the first edition still unbound when Lewis Carroll decided in July 1865 to cancel the edition. In 1866 the copies on hand were sold to Appleton, and [1000] new title-pages were printed at Oxford, replacing the originals. The binding was evidently done in England, duplicating that for the first issue except in the substitution of Appleton's name for Macmillan at the foot of the spine and in the omission of a [Burn & Co.] binder's ticket. Textually the Appleton issue agrees with the Macmillan 1865, the only difference being the cancel title-page" (Lewis Carroll at Texas). PMM 354 (the first issue); Robert N. Taylor, compiler, Lewis Carroll at Texas: The Warren Weaver Collection... Austin: The University of Texas, [1985], no. 2; Williams-Madan-Green-Crutch 44.
