Jabberwocky
CARROLL, Lewis; Alice SMITH [Illus.]
Jabberwocky
Oldham: Incline Press, 2010
8vo., pale blue tied card wraps, printed in black to upper cover; unpaginated [pp. xii], outer edges untrimmed, with double-page illustration to centrefold showing Alice reading with the beast appearing from the covers, printed in purple; essentially a fine example, just a couple of water splashes to the rear cover.
A charming example of this classic poem, one of just 200 copies printed on Khadi hand made paper, of which this is number 128.
Originally appearing in ‘Through the Looking Glass’ (1871), Jabberwocky is considered by many to be one of the greatest nonsense poems in English, and has given to the English language such neologisms as ‘galumphing’ and ‘chortle’.
Alice Smith is a freelance illustrator based in Lancashire whose work predominantly involves evocations of visual allegories and metaphors through surreal interpretations.
