Published by Peter Pauper Press of Mount Vernon, New York, this is an undated edition of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark — the press's characteristically affordable and well-designed fine press presentation of Carroll's celebrated nonsense poem. Peter Pauper Press produced multiple Carroll editions across several decades; this copy carries no internal dating information, and we have not been able to date it with confidence. Knowledgeable Carroll or Peter Pauper Press collectors may recognize the edition from the decorative boards and typography.
This copy is in good condition and includes the original publisher's slipcase. The boards show slight corner bumping and light staining; the front endpapers show light staining. The slipcase shows visible wear including fading and staining but remains structurally sound. The interior text block is clean and crisp throughout — typical of the high quality paper stock Peter Pauper Press used across their catalog.
Also available in our Curious Copies section: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, both in Henry Altemus Company editions from the late 1890s. For a collector-grade or definitively dated copy of this title, contact us directly — we're always scouting.
