19716158<p><strong>One of 600 numbered copies printed 500 are for sale. No 97. With Erratum slip tipped in and signature.</strong> Each recipe in this unique cookbook loosely based on food words mentioned in Lewis Carroll's '<em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em>' and '<em>Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There'</em> is illustrated and accompanied by either a real or fictitious quotation from '<em>Alice</em>'. According to the colophon this book is a facsimile of a very rare cookbook printed by the Bowman Publishing Company of Evanston Illinois sometime before 1922. The copy was acquired from a British book dealer around 1950 and was part of the collection of Dr. Lall G. Montgomery President of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. It is known that as a student Dr. Montgomery acquired French German and Italian translations of '<em>Alice in Wonderland</em>' in an effort to gain facility in translating medical literature. His interest in these translations sparked a growing hobby of collecting '<em>Alice</em>' in its numerous translations. This interest naturally extended to gathering editions with illustrations by various artists along with personal letters written by Lewis Carroll parodies books about the '<em>Alice Books</em>' and special editions of '<em>Alice</em>'. The recipes are accompanied by sepia yellow and black illustrations by American artist <strong>Elling William "Bill" Gollings</strong> 1878-1932 who studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and is best known for his works featuring cowboys. <strong>From the Collection of Stephen and Nancy Farber.</strong> We couldn't trace any copy of this edition in the UK.</p> Der Drucker paperback
