Description
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass", by Lewis Carroll, with 92 illustrations by John Tenniel, published by Macmillan & Co., New York and London. New Edition in One Volume. Early printing of the One Volume Edition, July 1916 [1st printing of this edition was issued in September 1906]. Macmillan was the publisher of the first British edition of both titles (1866 / 1872), and republished Alice until the early 20th century, therefore the high quality line illustrations are done from the original Macmillan's plates.
Hard covers, original green cloth with embossed and white colored lettering and decorations on front board and spine [the white is partially gone; cloth wear and some cloth deterioration on upper edge of the boards: see photos]; 5.1/4" x 7.1/2"; half-title page followed by two-page list of Macmillan's books, the title page for One Volume Edition, + separate half-titles, frontispieces, title pages and pagination for "Alice" and "Looking Glass": 192 + 224 pages + 10-page Macmillan catalog, very good condition.
Sir John Tenniel's (1820-1940) illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" are considered to be his finest and most enduring achievement. They must also rank among the world's best-known children's images.
