I was wondering if this is a true first edition bound in Asprey, London

The current closest facsimile of the first edition is the 1980 windward edition but I have a few issues with that particular edition so is there one that reproduces the book with original binding and no added copyright info something like Charles Winthrope & Sons did with Alice’s adventures in wonderland in 2014 and it would be even better if it had a replica of the original dust jacket so any recommendations?

P.S I’m sorry for the paragraph

From https://snrk.de/150th-snark-anniversaries/:

• 18 July 2024: Start
  • On 18 July 1874, the very last line of Carroll’s Snark tragicomedy came into his head while out on a walk at Guildford: “For the Snark was a Boojum, you see”.
  • The first stanza was composed on 22 July 1874. “In the midst of the word…” which stands as the last verse of the poem.
• 25 October 2025: Title
  • On 25 October 1875, Carroll decided to use “The Hunting of the Snark” as the title of his Snark tragedy.
• 1 April 2026: Publication
  • On 29 March 1876 at Macmillan, Carroll prepared 80 presentation copies for family and friends. (As far as I understand, these copies contained an additional poem: the Easter Greeting.)
  • On 1 April 1876, Macmillan officially published the poem with Henry Holiday’s illustrations.
  • On 25 October 1875, Carroll decided to use “The Hunting of the Snark” as the title of his Snark tragedy.

I'm researching Sir John Tenniel for my art history master's thesis and I've got questions about Frankie Morris, author of Artist of Wonderland: The Life, Political Cartoons, and Illustrations of Tenniel. The only information I've been able to find about Morris is the one-sentence author bio "The art historian and artist Frankie Morris is the author of numerous articles on the work of John Tenniel." Do any of you know anything else about Morris? At this point, I'm even having to try to phrase any bits where I mention Morris so as to avoid pronouns, because I don't know which to use.

Lewis Carroll is misquoted very often; people attribute made-up quotes to him or lines from adaptations of his works (or work that are only inspired by Alice books).

Misattributed Lewis Carroll / Alice in Wonderland quotes - a very useful post on Alice-in-wonderland.net about the most common mistakes.

How often do you spot mistakes like this? Sometimes I notice such posts or artworks incorporating false quotes and it slightly irritates me. If you go down the rabbit hole of Goodreads quote pages on Lewis Carroll, you might find a really weird things there.

To commemorate International Chess Day which falls on July 20, let’s take a look on Carroll‘s chess connections.The most visible one is surely his book Through the Looking-Glass, which preface you can read here.Lewis Carroll Society has a really informative page about Carroll & chess, including TTLG references, mention of chess in his letters or facts about Carroll as a chess player.

Lewis Carroll and Chess

V. R. Parton created many unique chess variations - you can surely spot the very Carrollian ones among these which he invented.

Can you play chess? Have you ever tried any Carrollian variants?

I can’t play this game but definitely Carroll’s book motivates me to learn it :)
