DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge. CARROLL, Lewis. Through the LookingGlass, and What Alice Found There. Sixtieth Thousand. Published: London: Richard Clay for Macmillan and Co. , 1893. Octavo. Original red cloth, titles to spine gilt, triple rules to covers gilt, black coated endpapers, all edges gilt. Housed in a custom red quarter morocco and black cloth solander box. Frontispiece with tissueguard, 49 illustrations by John Tenniel. Front hinge starting, some faint foxing to outer leaves, otherwise internally fresh. An exceptional copy.

In a situation reminiscent of the recalled 1865 Alice, this is the suppressed impression of Through the LookingGlass.
