Hudson, along with numerous two-tone and monochrome illustrations. All plates are crisp and bright. Ex libris plate of C.H.L.Bledisloe on blank endpaper, verso of frontis. The binding is a little worn and sun bleached along spine and on back board with some small marks. Inside two pages have small 1cm inner margin tears, there is quite a lot of spotting throughout, however the plates are very clean. I suspect by the type of paper that was used in the production of this book, many have succumbed to spotting/foxing.

Copy #1327 of 1500 with typography and binding by Frederick Warde who has SIGNED the colophon page. Additionally SIGNED for the publisher on a separate page bound in before the title page by Alice Hargreaves, "the original Alice," one of only about 500 copies of the total edition of 1500 copies that were signed by her a few years before her death. Alice refused to sign other editions of this famous book in her lifetime, written by Carroll for her when she was young Alice Liddell, but she was convinced with the help of monetary compensation to sign these copies. She would also sign two years later copies of THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS by the same publisher. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most famous children's books ever published here signed by the subject of the book. Many have praised this book, but perhaps novelist Sir Walter Besant's remark is the most insightful: "It admits us into a state of being which, until it was written, was not only unexplored but undiscovered." Very light rubbing to the spine tips and corners, spine a bit sunned. Near Fine in a somewhat darkened, Very Good slipcase
