He then presented it to young Alice Liddell, to whom he first told the story on a summer afternoon in 1862. The facsimile was commissioned in 1936 by Delawarean Eldridge R. Johnson (1867-1945), who had purchased the original manuscript from famed Philadelphia bookseller A.S.W. Rosenbach in 1928. Johnson, co-founder of the Victor Talking Machine Company and one of the richest men in America, was also a great admirer of Carroll\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Alice<\/em>&nbsp;books. This extraordinary facsimile\u2014almost indistinguishable from the original\u2014 was made in Vienna, and distributed to Johnson\u2019s circle of friends. Only about 50 copies are thought to have been produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the Johnson facsimile, this exhibition contains two other editions of the&nbsp;<em>Alice<\/em>&nbsp;text, as well as a recent reimagining of the well-known tale.<br><br>Curated by Curtis Small and Mark Samuels Lasner.<br><br>Poster designed by Special Collections Graduate Assistant Sarah Iuli (2015-2016).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland&nbsp;has delighted children and adults for a century and a half.
