New York: Random House, Maecenas Press, 1969. The Deluxe Edition of Alice in Wonderland, one of only 200 copies, illustrated and signed by Salvador Dalí on the title page. This edition features Dali's extraordinary surrealist illustrations, which include 12 heliogravures with woodcuts remark and a signed color etching as the frontispiece. The etching, signed in pencil by Dali, along with the 12 prints, captures Dali's unique vision of Lewis Carroll s fantastical world, transforming the familiar characters into dreamlike, distorted forms. Each heliogravure is overprinted with Dalí's distinctive woodcuts remarque of hand-drawn images or symbols, adding a personal touch to the work. This Deluxe edition comes with a suite of the 12 prints and etching in color printed on Japon Nacre paper. The prints and etching are presented in two separate black folders, each with Dali's gilded signature, and the entire collection is housed in a finely crafted brown morocco case. Dalí's illustrations for Alice in Wonderland are notable for their surrealistic interpretation of Carroll s tale. His rendering of Alice, the Cheshire Cat, and other characters is infused with Dali's signature techniques melting forms, dreamlike proportions, and striking symbolism. This edition marks a unique artistic collaboration, with Dali's vision amplifying the fantastical elements of the original story through the lens of Surrealism.
