Dodgson (Charles Lutwidge) "Lewis Carroll". Through the Looking Glass

Dodgson (Charles Lutwidge) "Lewis Carroll". Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, third edition, the suppressed 'sixtieth thousand' issue, half-title, frontispiece and illustrations by John Tenniel, 4 pp. advertisements at end, bookplate, ink stamp to title, gift ink inscription to front pastedown, scattered spotting and marginal toning, gutter cracked and some pp. working a little loose, a few nicks with some loss to upper margins of a few pp. (not affecting text), cracking at upper hinge, original cloth, rather worn, 8vo, 1893. *** Scarce. This suppressed issue was, according to Carroll, riddled with printing production faults. The illustrations were over-printed, the pages badly folded and it led to him threatening to terminate his contract with Macmillan. This had already been an issue for the first edition of the 1865 Alice, which was recalled after Tenniel complained about the quality of the printing. Only 60 copies had gone out when Carroll intervened. He asked Macmillan to destroy the remainder of the edition, which led to "Through the Looking Glass" being out of print until 1897. He later changed his mind about destroying the remaining copies of this edition, and instead favoured rebinding it and distributing it to charitable institutions, which had been done with the first suppressed Alice.
