Arthur Rackham

Illustrations:

-Cross-hatched, two-dimensional, colourless art

-Occasional insertions of lightly coloured illustrations by Rackham that appear to have been created later called “plates”

-List of plates given in the opening pages of this version.

Audience?

-This particular version appears to be meant for an older audience. Why?

–>longer chapters,

–>fewer illustrations, and those provided are colourless

-Thick blocks of text only broken by paragraph breaks and indents

**Interesting about this version:

-Poem near the beginning by Austin Dobson. Beginning to notice that every version of the story seems to have some sort of poem at the beginning.

-pIIIV indicates that this version was first published in 1907 with a cheaper version published in 1933. Interesting; initially thought this would be a more expensive verison

-Blank card with number “86” printed: likely indicating it is number 86 of the Alice 100 collection

-Paper insert indicates that it was one of the 1st cheap editions to be created (photo provided). I was definitely wrong about this being a more expensive version. I wonder what the expensive version looks like.

-Glued binding that is somewhat falling apart. Little stains on the back pages of the book indicate wornness
