1898 Antique ALICE IN WONDERLAND Lewis Carroll 1800s Victorian Book Illustration
This is a gorgeous Victorian copy, and a must-have for serious collectors. Though 125 years old, it is absolutely in readable condition! I have not found any other copies of this one for sale ANYWHERE. The handwritten note at the front says it was printed May 21, 1898. From the note, it is possible that very very few exact copies of this exist; this could be the only one. There is only one major flaw, the spine is a bit separated as seen in image 7. This is not at all unusual for the age; and is repairable. This is very much reflected in the price; I’m listing this as a steal in hopes that it lands with someone who will cherish it. Please message me with any inquiries!

The book : Scarce limited editon of this book – Folklorist Stewart Sanderson and mythologist Marina Warner call Kirk’s collection of supernatural tales one of the most important and significant works on the subject of fairies and second sight. In the late 1680s, Kirk travelled to London to help publish one of the first translations of the Bible into Scottish Gaelic. Gentleman scientist Robert Boyle financed the publication of the Gaelic Bible and pursued inquiries into Kirk’s reports of second sight. Kirk died before he was able to publish The Secret Commonwealth. Legends arose after Kirk’s death saying he had been taken away to fairyland for revealing the secrets of the Good People. Scottish author Walter Scott first published Kirk’s work on fairies more than a century later in 1815. Andrew Lang later gave it the popular title, The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies (1893). Famous author Philip Pullman gave to his second book of his trilogy The Book of Dust the same title “The Secret Commonwealth” because he said that Kirk’s book is one of his favourite books. The author : Robert Kirk (9 December 1644 14 May 1692) was a minister, Gaelic scholar and folklorist, best known for The Secret Commonwealth, a treatise on fairy folklore, witchcraft, ghosts, and second sight, a type of extrasensory perception described as a phenomenon by the people of the Scottish Highlands.
