Alice in Wonderland. Illustrated by A.L Bowley. London: Rafel Tuck, (1921). Red bevelled cloth binding with gilt-bordered colour onlay and gilt spine lettering, with publisher’s dust jacket. Portion of lower front cover missing, also chipped and worn. Heavy foxing to endpapers & half-title, otherwise contents pages in nice bright condition.

Six full-colour plates and over 70 line drawings by Ada Bowley – a lesser known, though immensely skilled Golden Age illustrator.

Bowley’s style in this volume is often compared to that of Mabel Lucie Attwell, with soft lines and expressive characters that bring Lewis Carroll’s surreal world to life in a gentle, dreamlike manner.
