{"product_id":"the-tenniel-illustrations-to-the-michael-hancher-9780814214114","title":"The Tenniel Illustrations to the \"Alice\" Books, 2nd Edition","description":"Lewis Carroll's two \u003ci\u003eAlice \u003c\/i\u003ebooks are among the most popular works of English literature thanks in part to the ninety-two indelible illustrations that John Tenniel drew for them. \u003ci\u003eThe Tenniel Illustrations to the \"Alice\" Books \u003c\/i\u003esituates their outstanding success in several historical contexts, including Tenniel's career as a leading artist for \u003ci\u003ePunch \u003c\/i\u003emagazine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new edition also pays special attention to the material circumstances that enabled and conditioned the printing of the illustrations. The original twelve chapters have been revised and updated throughout, drawing on archival and published resources made available in recent decades. Six chapters are entirely new, explaining how Tenniel's drawings were professionally hand-engraved on wood blocks; how electrotype replicas were made from those blocks; and what problems could mar the commercial printing of such images--as notoriously happened in the first printing of \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e which Carroll suppressed on Tenniel's advice. Also considered for the first time here are the coloring of Tenniel's black-and-white illustrations, by Tenniel and other artists, and the extraordinary treatment later given to Tenniel's illustrations by the prestigious Limited Editions Club. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Hancher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814214118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814214114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020","brand":"Michael Hancher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980599263487,"sku":"9780814214114","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee446755-2ebf-4122-a40f-99ad3beca58e.jpg?v=1683250824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tenniel-illustrations-to-the-michael-hancher-9780814214114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
