Description: Folio Society Hardcover Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ~ Limited Edition by Lewis Carroll Illustrated, signed and numbered by Charles van Sandwyk Strictly limited to 1,000 numbered copies AS NEW UNREAD conditionHoused in a BEAUTIFUL SOLANDER BOX A limited edition of Alice in Wonderland, illustrated by Charles van Sandwyk, published in 2016 by The Folio Society to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first edition. It sold out rapidly. A beautifully detailed and gorgeously bound limited edition of Alice in Wonderland, with new illustrations by the acclaimed artist Charles van Sandwyk. An amazing production and perhaps the most beautiful edition ever published. This Alice in Wonderland Limited Edition won both 2016 Best British Book and Book of the Year. The judges said of Alice in Wonderland, ‘No detail has been left as standard; every element in creating this book has been endowed with the highest specification.’ They also commented on its ‘flawless execution’ saying ‘every page is a delight. It’s a perfect piece of typography combined with timeless illustrations. Presented in a perfect package.’ This Publisher’s Note appears in the book: “Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed that the publication dates printed on the limitation spread and the title page are not synchronous. This follows the precedent of the first edition of Alice, which was published in 1865 yet bears the date 1866 on the title page.” Production details: Limitation spread blocked in two colors on two shades of Hahnemühle Bugra Butten laid paper, inset with an etching hand-printed under the artist’s supervision on Somerset Velvet Buff hand-made paper; signed and numbered by the artist Eleven plates printed in full color with gold borders on Art paper, tipped into the text within ornamental gold borders Nine ‘scraps’ (small tipped in illustrations, printed on art paper and individually placed in the book) With hand-drawn initials and approximately 50 line-drawings throughout the text incorporating the illustrator’s charming calligraphy and portraying the book's memorable characters Printed in warm black and gold inks on Ambassador Cream twin-wire laid paper Endpapers printed letterpress in dark red ink on Hahnemühle Bugra Butten laid paper Bound in quarter calfskin vellum with vellum tips, blocked on the spine in 24-carat gold, case sides blocked in four foils on Merida paper Gilded top page edges 172 pages Book size: 13 x 9¾ inches Solander Box bound in Paradise cloth, lined with Hahnemühle Bugra Butten, spine titling label blocked in two colors on laid paper - FREE USPS Priority Mail shipping - Will ship within 2 business days after payment - This book will be bubble wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box with packing material surrounding it I recently acquired a large and interesting collection of Folio Society titles in AS NEW UNREAD condition from a collector who purchased most of them new and sealed, and displayed them in a smoke free, climate controlled home.
