First Barry Moser-illustrated edition, being #153/350 signed and numbered copies. These two wonderful editions by esteemed master woodblock engraver, Barry Moser, were the first two books produced by his now legendary Pennyroyal Press. Each volume is a masterpiece of design, engraving, and fine printing, magnificently showcasing the artists delicate woodcuts in a way that the much smaller reprints done later fail to capture. Dark and whimsical, Mosers vision was a far cry from Tenniels well known little blonde girl. Mosers Alice is a mischievous brunette with a piercing gaze. The extra sets of 75 engravings for Alice and 95 engravings for Through the Looking-glass each and every one of which is signed by Moser comprise each and every illustration in the two books and makes this a truly remarkable set of Carrolls classics! Perhaps one of the most lavish and handsome editions of these two novels ever to be produced!
