[MOORE, Suzanne, artist]. -- DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge (“Lewis Carroll”) (1832-1898). Jabberwocky. Ashfield, MA, 1986.
A calligraphic manuscript executed in various colors on gold daffodil-yellow paper in the form of an equilateral triangle (3 ½” on each side), which folds out to a panorama of over four feet long with text on both sides. Notes from Martin Gardner’s “Annotated Alice”, in a small, sinuous italic hand, are interwoven with the text. Housed in a triangular case of handmade decorative paper within a fitted book-style of black silk. A unique artist’s book recreating Dodgson’s nonsense poem that was included in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass.
