New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1904. Kirk, M.L. [Maria Louise]; Tenniel, John. Reissue. Hard Cover. Good / No Jacket. Item #2345186

Alice lacks one color plate, otherwise very good with pencil name and address in a child's handwriting on front endpaper. Looking Glass boards rubbed and a bit toned with corners slightly exposed, LG binding slightly shaken but holding nicely, owner bookplate and pencil name and address on front endpapers.

xiv, 247, [1]; xv, [1], 271, [1] pp. 8vo. Grey cloth, illustrated spines and front boards. Includes color plates by Maria Louise Kirk and 92 illustrations from the originals by John Tenniel (42 in Alice, 50 in Looking-Glass). This edition of 'Alice' is notable as the first work in color by Kirk, who went on to become a prominent figure in book illustration (though this remains her most celebrated work). It is also noteworthy that Kirk depicts Alice with dark hair (with one exception), and with a yellow dress rather than the now-customary blue. Includes: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
