A Present from Lewis Carroll to his sister-in-law

Sometimes an item is of greater value in whole than any of its’ parts. This I bought from an Italian bookseller on EBay in 2007, really sold as an autograph of Lewis Carroll.

To celebrate the 126^th Exhibition of the Royal Academy  in London the book is a “coffee table book” for Victorians and Dodgson presented this copy to his sister-in-law Mary Collingwood with much affection and calling himself her brother.
