Carroll (Lewis, pseud. for C.L. Dodgson)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
With Eight Coloured Plates and One Hundred and Twelve Other Illustrations by Charles Robinson.
Description: FIRST AMERICAN ROBINSON EDITION, some printing in black and red to prelims, pp. [xii], 179, 8vo, original mid-brown cloth, backstrip and upper board lettered in black, the illustrations to both (not by Robinson)stamped in black, yellow and red, a little rubbing at tips of backstrip, the scarce dustjacket present (repeating one of the Robinson plates to front), the backstrip a little sunned, some chipping around head, rubbed to extremities, very goodPublication Details: New York: Funk and Wagnalls, n.d. [but circa 1921]
Notes: A nice copy of a scarce edition. The only institutional copy showing on WorldCat is in the estimable Cassady collection of Carroll material at USC - but theirs lacks both dustjacket and, more grievously, endpapers. The code at the foot of the colophon at rear, '25-621', suggests the date of printing - the sheets are printed by Cassell, but clearly distinct from the first Robinson edition from that publisher in 1907.
