Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (poster coloring book)

San Anselmo, California: Blushing Rose Publishing, 2000. Poster-sized coloring book featuring John Tenniel’s illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Author Lewis Carroll originally intended to illustrate his surreal 1865 classic himself, but eventually hired Tenniel, who had made his career as a cartoonist for Punch. Tenniel’s immediately recognizable Wonderland remains the definitive interpretation: even Walt Disney would follow his lead in imagining characters like the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and Alice herself. A fine unused copy of a striking coloring book. Perfect-bound volume, measuring 14 x 11 inches: title page and 26 removable posters. Original color pictorial boards titled “Alice in Wonderland Coloring Book,” red cloth spine. Posters printed in black and white, recto only.
