Octavo, pp. [1-12] [1] 2-224, fifty illustrations by John Tenniel, three-quarter leather and marbled boards, a.e.g., marbled endpapers. First U.S. edition. The sheets of the American edition are probably the same as those used for the British first printing for they have Macmillan's device, and the misprint "Wade" for "Wabe" on page 21. "THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS has the added discipline of being based on a chess game, an ingenious contrivance that brings structure to the surrealism and makes the sequel a more accomplished and successful work. The second Alice book is quoted more often that the first (though most people believe they are quoting from the first), and features the poems 'Jabberwocky' and 'The Walrus and the Carpenter.'" - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 169.

Octavo, pp. [i-vii] viii [1-3] 4-202 [203-204: blank], publisher's pictorial blue cloth, all panels stamped in gold, all edges gilt, brown coated endpapers. First edition, first printing, first issue. "This entertaining medley . consists of two parts, the first containing thirteen amusing poems, the second an equal number of serious ones . The title poem is in seven cantos, and is well adapted to remove all fear of ghosts from nervous people, by representing that it is no pleasure at all to the ghosts to howl on battlements on wet nights, or to clank chains . The word Phantasmagoria was invented in 1802, and seems to mean a Gathering of Ghosts" (WM&G, p. 47). Williams, Madan and Green 68. Early owner's signature dated 1870 on half title and title pages. Later bookplate of Henry A. Hoffman affixed to the front paste-down. Cloth worn at edges, spine panel darkened, inner front hinge partially cracked and repaired, a good copy. (#173009).

With Nine Illustrations by Henry Holiday. London: Macmillan and Co., 1876. 1 page undated ads. Original deep red cloth pictorially decorated in black, all page edges gilt. First Edition, special dark-red binding, which consisted of 100 copies. This is a poetical nonsense tale, both funny and subtle, that "describes with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature" [WM&G]. The crew consists of a Bellman, a Bonnet-Maker, a Barrister, a Broker, a Billiard-Maker, a Banker, a Butcher, a Baker, a Beaver and (the only one not illustrated) "a Boots." In his dedicatory verse to Gertrude Chataway, Carroll hid the child's name twice. Standard copies were issued in buff-colored cloth (with the same elaborate pictorial decoration, but in black). According to WM&G, "It is doubtful whether any variant coloured bindings were for sale, other than buff or red; the other colours seem to have been bound specially for Dodgson, who wrote to Macmillan on 21 Mar. 1876 ordering: '100 in red and gold, 20 in dark blue and gold, 20 in white vellum and gold'." (Dodgson had a few others bound just for himself, possibly in light blue, light green and dark green.) This is a very good-plus copy, with (as usual) some wear at the spine ends; the covers have some rubbing, but the original endpapers are not cracked at all. In all, this is an attractive book, with the gilt standing out well against this dark red cloth. Williams Madan & Green 115.

Edition originale Signé
[inscribed by Lewis Carroll] With Forty-six Illustrations [each] by Harry Furniss. [Together, two volumes.] London: Macmillan and Co., 1889/1893. 3 pp / 5 pp undated ads. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in gilt, all page edges gilt. First Editions of Carroll's rather serious fairy tales. SYLVIE AND BRUNO, with its conclusion in 1893, was the last considerable work by Dodgson. Though he fully explains in the Preface. the principles on which he introduces many solemn pages into his fairy tale, the serious subjects of life and science cannot be thus inserted without marring the effect of the whole. Somehow the light and airy touch of ALICE is wanting, but there is plenty of amusing incident and entertaining verse. There is hardly any plot: Sylvie and Bruno, after living with a Warden, Sub-Warden, Professor, Beggar, Gardener, Uggug (the young artist) and others, are conducted by the Gardener into Elfland, ride on a lion, visit Dogland, and so on. [The illustrations] are rightly described by Dodgson (Preface, p. ix) as wonderful. [WM&G] The books were not a success; in fact new copies of the second volume were still being sold as late as 1939. The dedicatory verses hide the names of the dedicatee (Isa Bowman and Enid Stevens respectively), the former one doubly. This SYLVIE AND BRUNO is a presentation copy inscribed in violet ink by Carroll, "Mrs Jackson | from the Author | [flourish] Dec. 12, 1889". (The precise date of publication of this edition is unrecorded, but the earliest presentation copy cited by WM&G is the same date as this copy's, as was another inscribed copy we have sold.) Most of Carroll's inscriptions were accomplished with this violet ink; "from the Author" was his standard, modest signature. These volumes are in very good-plus condition. SYLVIE AND BRUNO has some general mottling of the red cloth, quite minor wear at the spine ends, and some small marks on the rear cover; the rear endpaper is cracked. CONCLUDED has some minor discoloration on the spine but is otherwise near-fine externally; its endpapers too show some cracking. Loosely inserted in the latter volume is Carroll's Christmas 1893 "Advertisement" requesting buyers of the latest edition of THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS to return their copies due to defective illustrations; this ad leaf has a damp-mark on a lower corner. Williams Madan & Green 217 & 250. In an open-back slipcase.
