Alice in Wonderland. With all the original engravings as drawn by Sir John Tenniel. New York: Mount Vernon, The Peter Pauper Press, [1950’s]. Bound in full dark polished morocco, covers ruled in gilt, spine with decorative floral and the white rabbit in gilt within a decorative frame, inner floral dentelles and cream floral-patterned endpapers.

The Peter Pauper Press, founded by Peter and Edna Beilenson, was renowned for producing handsomely designed, affordable editions of classic literature. This Alice is characteristic of their output: the text is printed in black with the Tenniel illustrations and page numbers printed in red.

A fine example by French bookbinder Maurin.
