The Rocket Press: Blewbury, Oxfordshire. 1988. 3 volumes in one slipcase. Comprising 2 plate volumes and 1 volume of accompanying text. Number 97 of 250 sets. Ninety-one wood-engraved plates printed from the original woodblocks engraved by the Dalziel Brothers and 1 electrotype plate after Tenniel. Each plate is loosely inserted into its own respective folder as issued, with text describing the plate Catalogue note: Printed from the original boxwood blocks that were used to create the electrotype plates for the first edition. These were discovered in two deed boxes belonging to Macmillan in 1985, in the vaults of the National Westminster Bank where they had lain undisturbed since World War II. Macmillan then commissioned The Rocket Press to produce a limited edition of 250 prints taken directly from the blocks, the first time they had been used to create new complete edition. Previously Macmillan had treated them as masters, only taking them out of storage to cut electrotype copies for each fresh printing. Only the block for 'Alice & the Dodo' was missing so Jonathan Stephenson used an electrotype in its place, for completeness. No further sets were commissioned by the The Rocket Press and the woodblocks were eventually deposited in the British Library. The bindings for the commentary volume, the solander boxes housing the prints, and the slipcase were bound by The Fine Bindery, Wellingborough
