[Burbank, CA]: [Walt Disney Studios], [1951]., 1951 9" x 9", within a 15" x 15" frame. Gouache on celluloid drawing of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, holding a flamingo mallet, colored in green, yellow, black, red, and white, with a gray background, in a glossy black frame. Fine. Overall, a bright and exemplary cel from the classic 1951 Disney film.Walt Disney's animated film Alice in Wonderland (1951) is based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1872). Walt Disney was inspired by Carroll's books from a young age, and his early silent "Alice Comedies" in the 1920s showed the imaginative author's influence on him. Disney purchased the rights to Tenniel's Alice illustrations in 1931 with the idea of turning the books into a film, but it wasn't until 1951 that the project was finally completed. Featuring the voices of Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling Holloway and others, the film received a lukewarm reception when it was released, but has since come to be regarded as one of Disney's finest feature-length films. Like other hand-drawn Disney films, Alice in Wonderland required hundreds of thousands of hand-drawn cels (24 images equated to only a single second of animation) and the loving labor of hundreds of artists..

Complete with all 50 engravings by John Tenniel. A faint contemporary gift inscription on the title page, a few spots of soiling or foxing throughout. Carroll's fantastical sequel to the classic Alice Adventures in Wonderland. Published in 1871, the book follows Alice as she enters a strange alternative world by stepping through a magical mirror. She soon encounters the nonsense poem "Jabberwocky", which Martin Gardner called "...the greatest of all nonsense poems in English", and later meets the famed Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a sensation when it was first published, and Through The Looking Glass received favorable reviews as well. The novel has been adapted into film, television, and stage. Carroll scholar Florence Becker Lennon calls the novel a "masterpiece -- only a shade less than Wonderland" (Lennon, "Escape Through the Looking-Glass," 1971; pp 66-79). Fine. Fine.

London: Macmillan, 1889. Very good.. Inscribed first edition, with a purple-ink inscription by Carroll in the year of publication to the wife of the playwright who tried to take ALICE to the theater. This copy is inscribed to "Mrs. Dubourg": the Dubourgs appear a number of times in the journals and letters of Lewis Carroll. Augustus William Dubourg was an author and playwright who attempted to get ALICE produced on the stage. Carroll also formed a friendship with their daughter Evelyn, who was either 10 or 12 when they first met. He frequently met with the family when in town, and continued to make special visits with them over the course of many years. SYLVIE AND BRUNO is a tale of Fairyland, which grew from the episodic stories of two characters that Carroll would often tell to children. In it Carroll sought to create an entirely original approach to the fairy story - just as he had with ALICE, which now had so many imitations that Carroll hoped once more to prove his ingenuity; a few of the scenes were apparently inspired by dreams. A nice copy with an interesting association. Octavo. 7.5'' x 5.25''. Original full gilt-stamped red cloth. All edges gilt. Illustrated by Harry Furniss. Publisher's ads at rear. xiv, 400, [4] pages. Inscribed by Carroll in purple ink on half title: "Mrs. Dubourg, / With sincere regards / from the Author [flourish] / Dec. 12, 1889." Hinges repaired, some small holes to cloth at front joint, fore-edge, and rear top corner, a few patches of foxing to text. Red cloth bright, gilt strong. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy]
