I did a search of "alice wonderland first edition"

 

this came up:

 

https ://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/may/30/alice-in-wonderland-first-edition-christies-auction

 

Interesting things:

 

  • 22 known copies in existence, after Lewis Carroll withdrew the entire print run

  • to be auctioned in New York … between $2m and $3m (£1.3-£2m

  • printed in June 1865

-* the book’s illustrator, John Tenniel, told Carroll that he was “entirely dissatisfied with the printing of the pictures

  • the first 2,000 shall be sold as waste paper

  • Sixteen of the known copies are in institutional libraries, and six in private hands.

 

So, what was the thing about the images Tenniel told Carroll?

If we get the original pictures here for discussion Q may confirm one?

Probably nothing but worth a mention, I thought
