EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating cover of the first edition of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, dating back to 1865, is a true treasure in the world of literature. This cloth-bound volume, now housed in a private collection, holds immense historical and sentimental value. This particular copy was gifted by Lewis Carroll himself to George William Kitchin, his colleague at Christ Church and Secretary of the School Book Committee for the University Press. The book eventually found its way into the hands of Kitchin's daughter Alexandra (Xie) Rhoda Kitchin, who happened to be one of Carroll's favorite photographic models. The cover itself is an exquisite representation of Carroll's whimsical tale. It features vibrant illustrations that immediately transport us into Wonderland – a place where imagination knows no bounds. Amongst these enchanting images adorning the cover is none other than the mischievous Cheshire Cat with its iconic grin. Considered rare and highly sought after by collectors worldwide, this first edition exemplifies literary excellence and artistic brilliance. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of Lewis Carroll's genius and enduring legacy. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder, we are able to admire this remarkable piece from afar while appreciating its significance within both literary history and British culture as a whole.
