It lists John Tenniel as the illustrator and it was published by Donohue, Henneberry & Co., Dearborn Street in Chicago. The illustrations are primarily in black ink. Unfortunately, the young lady who received the book as a Christmas gift in 1899 was old enough to write her name well but had no respect for the gift. Fortunately, she did not write on pages 2-82, so maybe she did enjoy the illustrations. I don't feel that the condition of the book would command a good price beause it was in a box in an attic for many years but the pages appear to be in good condition. I thought that you might be interested because the illustrations are magical. I could not find any further information on this edition.

I think my exposure to Tenniel at an early age was one of the things that prompted my interest in pen and ink drawing. I've had the pleasure of seeing a couple of Tenniel's drawings in shows, and his work is just beautiful. Thanks, katy.
