Title: The Nursery "Alice": Containing Twenty Coloured Enlargements from Tenniel's Illustrations to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with Text Adapted to Nursery Rhymes by Lewis Carroll Author: Carroll, Lewis Place: London Publisher: Macmillan Date: 1890 Description: [10], 56, [5] + [2] pp. Chromolithographed frontispiece & 19 chromolithographed illustrations in the text from Tenniel's designs. 10x7½, original cloth-backed chromolithgraphed boards designed by E. Gertrude Thomson. Presentation copy inscribed by Carroll to the granddaughter of Queen Victoria on the half-title in blue ink, "Presented to H.R.H. the Princess Alice by the Author, Mar. 25, 1890." With the bookplate of Alice Mary Victoria Augusta Pauline on the front pastedown. This is probably the highest level of a royal presentation copy of this book, the association made even more marvelous by the recipient being an "Alice."

Lot Amendments Condition: Some rubbing and soiling to the boards, top corner of front board creased, corners showing; top right quarter of the second leaf of "An Easter Greeting" at the end of the book torn off, affecting 9 lines of the text, else very good.
