CHICAGO – The staying power of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – a story invented by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson to delight a small girl and her sisters in Oxford, England, and later published by him under the pen name of Lewis Carroll – cannot be denied. Stephen and Nancy Faber set out to build a book collection anchored by the beloved 19th-century story and its sequel, and ultimately consigned it to Potter & Potter Auctions. Offered on November 30, the collection earned a total of $230,000 and a sell-through rate of 92 percent. Absentee and Internet live bidding was provided through LiveAuctioneers.

The top lot overall was a first edition of the 1923 Russian translation of Alice, done under a pseudonym by Vladimir Nabokov. It once belonged to the former Alice Liddell, aka the real-world Alice, and was signed by her with her married name of Hargreaves in brown ink on the front pastedown. Estimated at $10,000-$15,000, it hammered for $36,000 and sold for $45,000 with buyer’s premium.

Two lots by two different creative legends, illustrator Barry Moser and Surrealist artist Salvador Dali, demonstrated how captivating the tale of Alice is and continues to be. Moser’s 1982 Pennyroyal Press version, which combined Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There into one volume had an estimate of $3,000-$5,000 and brought $6,500 ($7,800 with buyer’s premium). Dali’s take, produced in 1969 in a limited edition of 2,500, went for $6,000 ($7,500 with buyer’s premium).

Other standouts included a group of circa-1940s-1950s Pelham Puppets of Alice characters, which attained $3,000 ($3,750 with buyer’s premium) against an estimate of $400-$600, and two Alice-themed wooden jigsaw puzzles by the Vermont firm Stave Puzzles, one dating to 1991 and the other to 1997. Both estimated at $600-$800, the 1991 puzzle, which depicted a landscape view of Wonderland, earned $1,700 ($2,125 with buyer’s premium), and the 1997 version, which was shaped like a teapot and placed the Mad Hatter’s tea party at its center, realized $2,000 ($2,500 with buyer’s premium).

CHICAGO – The phrase ‘falling down the rabbit hole’ has its origins in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the 1865 classic written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pen name of Lewis Carroll. The collectors Stephen and Nancy Farber built the ultimate rabbit hole in the form of a superlative collection of Alice-related books and collectibles, which will be presented at Potter & Potter Auctions on Thursday, November 30. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

Potter & Potter’s Director of Fine Books and Manuscripts Chris Brink said, “The Farbers were truly ‘mad as a hatter’ when it came to collecting all things Alice. One focus of their collection were the hundreds of various illustrators that, since 1865, have been producing unique renditions of the characters and scenes from this popular children’s book. The Farbers also had a deep fascination for the many translations of the work, chief among them perhaps the most important: the ‘original Alice’s copy’ of [Vladimir] Nabokov’s Russian translation of Alice. We are excited to jump down this rabbit hole on November 30.”

The book of which Brink speaks appears as lot 83, and was published in Berlin in 1923. It is signed in brown ink on the front pastedown by Alice P. Hargreaves, formerly Alice Liddell, who, when she was small, inspired an Oxford University mathematician to spin a wild tale about a girl who shared her name. The Nabokov translation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland into Russian with the peerless Alice provenance carries an estimate of $10,000-$15,000.

Offered as subsequent lots in the lineup are two different presentation copies of the first authorized edition and first published English edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. One is inscribed by its illustrator, John Tenniel, who threw in a sketch of the Mad Hatter with a tea cup in one hand and a piece of toast in the other. It is one of only two copies of an 1866 Alice with a sketch by Tenniel, and the only one known to feature a Tenniel sketch of the Mad Hatter character. Its estimate is $15,000-$25,000.

The other first authorized edition, first published English edition and presentation copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland consigned to the sale boasts a markedly heftier estimate of $30,000-$50,000, and not just because its inscription is from the author instead of the illustrator. In addressing the copy to British illustrator Richard Doyle, Dodgson signed it with his own name, and not that of Lewis Carroll. As the lot notes explain, such a signature is “exceedingly rare as Dodgson was careful to protect his privacy and to prevent his serious mathematical works from being linked with his books for children.” In addition, this particular copy was once owned by Max Charles Gaines, the father of Bill Gaines, who would launch EC Comics as well as Mad magazine. And it is offered with an 1872 first edition, first state copy, also previously owned by Gaines, of the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
