USA: Univ of California Pr, 1982. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Stated First printing. A very clean copy. The Jacket has a repair to a tear on the spine. This edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland presents Lewis Carroll's classic tale in a striking modern interpretation by American artist Barry Moser. His wood-engraved illustrations give the familiar story a darker, more psychological tone, replacing Victorian whimsy with sharp, expressive character studies and a sense of dreamlike unease. Moser's design is spacious and elegant, with typography and image working together to create a fine-press reading experience. The engravings reinterpret Carroll's characters-Alice, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts-with a contemporary edge that highlights the surreal and unsettling qualities of the text.
