1907 FIRST EDITION ALICE IN WONDERLAND, LEWIS CARROLL ILLUSTRATED ARTHUR RACKHAM

Description: 1907 FIRST TRADE EDITION AND FIRST IMPRESSION OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND BY LEWIS CARROLL AND ILLUSTRATED BY ARTHUR RACKHAM. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DUST JACKETS OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND, AND THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST CONDITIONED ONE WE HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. JUST ABOUT ALL THE SALES OF THIS BOOK DO NOT HAVE ITS ORIGINAL DUST JACKET. For your viewing pleasure, as many pictures as possible are included in the listing. The book is completely unrestored and original. This book is very notorious for having condition issues, let alone having a dust jacket. Extremely rare to find one this beautiful and crisp. All thirteen color plates are present with their tissue guards, and have been photographed for the listing. Please review all the pictures for the overall condition of the book and dust jacket. The dust jacket is protected in a Bro Dart dust jacket. A remarkable survival, exponentially more rare than the Rackham's unsigned but glamorous deluxe limited edition which was published in an edition of 1130 copies, most of which survived as prized books whereas dust jackets on trade editions from this era were simply not preserved in any numbers. One of the rarest first edition dust jackets of any children's literature. First Edition Identification Points: 1) No further impressions listed on the verso of the title.2) Heinemann ad for Rip Van Winkle to the verso of the half-title.3) Price on dust jacket spine 6/-NET4) Rear of dust jacket advertisement for "The Children And The Pictures".
