About the Item

The sixth thousand of Lewis Carroll's highly influential work of Victorian children's literature, illustrated throughout by John Tenniel. An exceptionally early impression of Lewis Carroll's beloved children's tale. The sixth thousand of this work, published two years after the first impression. With forty-two charming illustrations from John Tenniel, depicting the many much-loved scenes including The Mad Hatter's Tea Party and The White Rabbit looking at his pocket watch. Frontispiece retaining the original tissue guard. Collated, complete. Upon the original publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, Tenniel was far more well-known than Carroll, owing to his successful career as an illustrator and cartoonist, including many pieces for the satirical periodical 'Punch'. Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) was a mathematician and author best known for this work, and its sequel 'Alice Through the Looking-Glass'. Rebacked, with endpapers renewed. Former owner's inscription to half title head. The work is credited as perhaps the greatest example of literary nonsense. Whilst the work was meant for children (indeed the tale was originally told to a friend's daughter, Alice Liddell) the word play, logic and fantastical themes present have interested and delighted scholars since its publication. Condition Rebacked, in the publisher's original cloth binding, retaining the original boards. Endpapers renewed. Externally, exceptionally lovely. Inscription to half title head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally clean and exceptionally bright, with the odd spot, most concentrated to perimeters of first few leaves. Overall: Very Good Indeed
