Cloth. Condition: Very Good Indeed. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Mervyn Peake (illustrator). A scarce edition of the classic Victorian children's novel, here with illustrations by British author and artist Mervyn Peake. A scarce first edition thus, with original unclipped dustwrapper.This edition features sixty-five illustrations from British author and artist Mervyn Peake, best known for the 'Gormenghast' fantasy series, and his poetry and literary nonsense.Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland' first saw publication in 1865. Following Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole and encounters various anthropomorphic creatures, it remains one of the most popular and renowned works of both Victorian and children's fiction, having seen countless interpretations since. Originally published in 1871, Alice's sequel, 'Through the Looking-Glass', sees the heroine return to the world of Wonderland by climbing through a mirror, where she know finds that everything she encounters has now been reversed.This is the first UK printing with Peake's illustrations, with the spelling mistake 'pulished' to verso of title page. Bears a school prize book plate to the front pastedown, dated July 1959, awarded to Stephanie Shannons of Sandhurst Primary. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dustwrapper.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Illustrated by Mervyn Peake (illustrator). First Edition Thus; First Printing. This is the First UK HARDBACK printing published by Allan Wingate, London in 1954. This was the first UK printing of the book in hardback, as opposed to the soft covered edition printed earlier in 1946 by Zephyr Books, Stockholm & London, which was the first edition illustrated by Peake in the english language. This Hardback BOOK is in blue cloth with gilt titling/gilt illustration to the spine, with a little dulling to the gilt on the spine, and some light edge fading to the covers, but overall near VG, tight, clean and sound. The DUST-JACKET is only in a fair condition with some loss, some fading, marks, creasing and sunning to the spine. However the d/j is now in a new protective clear - removable - bookfilm plastic cover and looks a little better, and the Mervyn Peake d/j artwork is striking, so nice to have it in some form, even in a poor version. The page fore-edges are very lightly toned but uniform. Internally, some VERY light offsetting to the endpapers, but the text block is overall very clean and tight, but page183/4 has been folded over (for a long time I would guess) and has a crease line running down the page(s) and some 'invisible' archive tape over a tear at the bottom margin/inner gutter of the page, but not affecting the text, otherwise NO Inscriptions or other marks I can see. (viii) + 264 pp. A full page b/w frontispiece - 65 illustrations in total throughout - all by Mervyn Peake, including a vignette in red on the title page. A Very Scarce title. SEE IMAGES. ; 8vo 7.5" - 8" tall.

Very slight chipping and a small closed tear to head of spine of dust jacket and slight fading to spine but otherwise in very good condition throughout. Peake's illustrations play on the dark surrealism of Alice suggesting a wild fantastical humour. These were Alice illustrations for the mid-twentieth century. This Stockholm edition of 1946 predates by eight years the first publication of Peake's Alice drawings in England.

First Mervyn Peake illustrated edition. Original grey pictorial card covers printed in blue and red, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with line drawings by Mervyn Peake throughout. A superb near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little rubbing to the spine tips and some minimal wear to edges and corners. The contents, with a few very tiny spots to the text block edges and a little dustiness to the bottom corner of the text block, are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper, the lettering to the lightly toned spine moderately faded. A lovely copy. A beautiful example of the first Mervyn Peake illustrated edition preceding the UK Alan Wingate issued edition by eight years. Upon publication of this edition, Frances Sarzano, biographer of John Tenniel, wrote that "[e]ven Tenniel-charmed eyes should be captivated by the unfamiliar Walrus and the Carpenter, by the Sorry White Knight (who pleads for a Peake 'Don Quixote'), by the Mad Hatter and the Duchess's choleric child, but sadly enough, it will be at least two years [as stated above, it was eight] before this Peake Alice can be published in England, owing to the artist's contracts with English publishers." ('Alphabet and Image', 1946). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Attractively bound in pebbled green cloth stamped brightly in gilt on the front and rear boards and on the spine. With 3 bright gold rectangular rules to the edges of the front and rear boards which feature gilded cameos of Alice holding a supine pig on the front boards; and the Cheshire Cat on the rear boards; both are encircled by three concentric gilt circles. Rubbing to the extremities and along the spine. With top corners bumped and worn. Clean chocolate endpapers and tight hinges. With all 42 wonderful black and white illustrations by John Tenniel throughout. A vintage, collectible copy with the classic illustrations by Tenniel. Re: The Illustrations The manuscript was illustrated by Carroll himself who added 37 illustrations printed in a facsimile edition in 1887.[21] John Tenniel provided 42 wood-engraved illustrations for the published version of the book.[63] The first print run was destroyed (or sold to the US[64]) at Carroll's request because he was dissatisfied with the quality. There are only 22 known first edition copies in existence.[63] The book was reprinted and published in 1866.[21] Tenniel's detailed black-and-white drawings remain the definitive depiction of the characters.[65] Tenniel s illustrations of Alice do not portray the real Alice Liddell,[42] who had dark hair and a short fringe. Alice has provided a challenge for other illustrators, including those of 1907 by Charles Pears and the full series of colour plates and line-drawings by Harry Rountree published in the (inter-War) Children's Press (Glasgow) edition. Other significant illustrators include: Arthur Rackham (1907), Willy Pogany (1929), Mervyn Peake (1946), Ralph Steadman (1967), Salvador Dalí (1969), Graham Overden (1969), Max Ernst (1970), Peter Blake (1970), Tove Jansson (1977), Anthony Browne (1988), Helen Oxenbury (1999),[66] and Lisbeth Zwerger (1999).
