DALI, Salvador, illustrator. CARROLL, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Twelve Illustrations with Original Woodcuts and an Original Etching by Salvador Dalí. New York: Maecenas Press – Random House, 1969.
Deluxe Edition, limited to 200 copies, accompanied by an additional suite of plates. This example is from the small number of portfolios marked H.C. (hors commerce), reserved for the publisher and collaborators.
Large folio (17 x 11 3/8 inches; 431 x 289 mm). Comprising 41 bifolia plus 13 bifolia (the additional suite), paginated [150], [1], [5, blank]. Lewis Carroll’s complete text is illustrated with an original frontispiece etching signed and numbered H.C. by Salvador Dalí in pencil, along with twelve color woodcut plates. This copy includes the rare additional suite printed on Japon Nacré paper.
Loose as issued, housed in the original publisher’s two black silk portfolios, each stamped with Dalí’s gilt motif on the covers. Enclosed in the original carrot-colored morocco clamshell box with leather ties (expertly renewed, as often seen). The upper joint of the clamshell has been professionally and nearly invisibly restored; minimal rubbing to corners. The two portfolios and their contents remain in pristine, mint condition.
A superb example of the deluxe issue of Dalí’s celebrated illustrations for Carroll’s proto-Surrealist masterpiece—one of only 200 copies signed and numbered on vélin de Rives, with the complete additional suite on Japon Nacré, including the signed frontispiece etching.
Dalí’s signature etched frontispiece and twelve vivid color woodcuts present his singular interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s whimsical world, transforming its iconic characters through the dreamlike distortions of Surrealism. Each heliogravure is further enhanced with Dalí’s distinctive woodcut remarques, adding a unique, personal touch to every plate.
Dalí’s Alice in Wonderland remains one of the most remarkable artistic collaborations of the 20th century—his imagery amplifying the fantastical essence of Carroll’s tale through his unmistakable surrealist vision. The entire edition was limited to 2,500 copies on Mandeure paper, with only 200 deluxe copies issued with the signed etching and additional suite.
