Summary note
Reprintings of a selection of 26 of the "most innovative and entertaining letters" that Lewis Carroll wrote to children, each printed in a separate sheet of paper and placed within an envelope printed with one of the 26 letters of the alphabet and a corresponding picture (A, Alice, etc.), after Tenniel; 3 pages before the letters, including table of contents and one leaf at end with notes and colophon information.
Notes
Letters addressed to: Alice Liddell and her sisters (Lorena and Edith), Henrietta Dodgson, Princess Alice (granddaughter of Queen Victoria), and Zoe Dodgson, and others.
Place of publication and date from colophon.
Pictorial envelopes (e.g. Alice for A, Bee for B, Queen for Q, Zoe for Z) provide a kind of rebus alphabet.
A limited edition of 10 copies.
With an "artist statement" page, laid in, explaining the concept and providing some information about the letters.
Binding note
Publisher's textured red paper-covered boards with an uncovered "piano hinge binding" showing the sewing binding construction; marbled endpapers.
Structure of the spine allows the bound envelopes to be "fanned out" into a circle or semi-circle for display, with selected pictorial envelopes visible.
