Dodgson (Charles Lutwidge, 'Lewis Carroll'). The Hunting of the Snark, an Agony in Eight Fits, 1st edition, Macmillan, 1876, inscribed by the author in purple ink on the half-title, frontispiece and full-page black & white illustrations by Henry Holiday advertisement leaf at rear, some spotting and marks, all edges gilt, front pastedown with bookplate of Edward Prioleau Warren original gilt-blocked white cloth by Burn (with ticket on rear pastedown), rubbed and worn, all but a small piece of spine lacking (and that detached), upper cover near-detached, 8vo (Qty: 1) Williams, Madan, Green and Crutch 115. One of the rarest binding variants, inscribed by Lewis Carroll in his characteristic purple ink: 'Margaret Cecil Louisa Morrell from the Author. May 4. 1876'. Margaret Morrell was the daughter of Frederick Parker Morrell and Harriette Anne Morrell née Wynter (see lot 586 for Harriette's journal). Frederick Morrell was Steward of St John’s College between 1863 and 1882, a post his father had held before him. Margaret and her younger sister Frederica were both photographed by Lewis Carroll on several occasions between 1873 and 1874, and their mother also sat for the author. Margaret married architect and archaeologist Edward Prioleau Warren in 1894. Although typically found in black-blocked buff cloth, Lewis Carroll wrote to his publisher on 21 March 1876 ordering copies of The Hunting of the Snark in various colours stamped in gilt, intended as gifts for friends, requesting '100 in red and gold, 20 in dark blue and gold, 20 in white vellum and gold.'
