Carroll, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Illustrated by Willy Pogany. E. P. Dutton & Company, New York, 1929.

Price: US$295.00 + shipping

Condition: Fair

Description: 1929 at copyright page; no others dates, indications. Blue cloth boards, black embossed cover design and titles, some cover, corner wear, rub, discoloration. Cover depicts the whimsical rabbit inviting Alice through to her adventures. Pages generally good, few w/discoloration; some scribble, youngster markings at front & back blank endpapers. Antiquarian name crossed out at front endpaper: "Sheila Barnett, Dec. 1946". Small harvest orange pictorial label inside cover: "Thanksgiving 1946, We Give Thanks By Helping, Federation for the Handicapped". Bind good; hinges intact. Illustrated throughout with charming full and partial-page imagery and decoration. Pogany's delightful illustrations present Alice as a definite child of the '20's, including bobbed hair and a mid-thigh length checked skirt, knee sox, and a "sailor" blouse. Prior to introduction is a five-stanza poem by Lewis Carol dated 1867 entitled: Christmas Greetings (From a Fairy to a Child). Scarce well worn, intact first edition of Willy Pogany's mesmerizing imagery. A surreal work of nonsense composed by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson utilizing his pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a young Alice who falls down a hole into a realm of fantasy populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The yarn is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends, and enemies, and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. Carroll plays with logic in ways making pushing the story to lasting popularity with adults as well as children and is a characteristic example of the literary nonsense, and its narrative and structure enormously influential. Willy Pogany (1882-1955) was a prolific Hungarian book illustrator best known for his pen and ink drawings of myths and fables such as Alice in Wonderland. A large portion of Pogany's work can be termed Art Nouveau. Pogany's artistic style is heavily fairy-tale orientated and often features motifs of mythical animals such as nymphs and pixies. His dreamy illustrations are exemplified in this volume and his pen and ink drawings also portray the extent of his talent. Lewis Carroll's classic begins on a boring summer afternoon when the bright and inquisitive Alice follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom, she finds herself immersed in a bizarre world full of strange creatures and bizarre goings-on. She tries pills and potions, and attends a very strange tea party and croquet match. An immensely witty mix of satire, puzzles, and drama and one of literature's most astute depictions of the experience of childhood. 192 pages. Printed in USA. Insured post. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
