Alice In Wonderland ( By Lewis Carroll ) ( Illustrated by ) Gordon Robinson
Linen , No. 506 Printed in U. S. A. Copyrighted 1911 by Sam. Gabriel Sons & Company New York
Large : 8 5/8" x 11" Cardboard covers, linen ( cloth ) pages.
Clearly dated " 1911 " ( see the photos ) - this is an early appearance of this linen book. ( possibly the first edition thus ; later printings from the 1930s say " Linenette " on the front cover )
It should be noted that the " copyright 1911 " printing is very scarce.
Beautiful art in the nouveau style by British artist Gordon Robinson ( born 1885 ).
----------
Condition. Worn, as is common for antique children's books. ( see the photos ). Split at the spine, along the juncture of the front and rear covers. Both covers and all pages remain attached. ( the covers remain attached by the linen cloth on the inside surface of the covers ) The rear cover has staining ( see the photos ). Attachment of the covers could be easily strengthened with a little carefully applied glue, however this has not been done as yet. Some curling at the top-outside corner of the pages. Some staining in a few spots. A little wear at the outer edge of the linen pages. Old pencil price at the upper corner of the second page.
