Lewis Carroll (photo 1), author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," used his own funds for the book's first printing but recalled the original copies due to their poor quality. One rare remaining original copy was bound in white vellum (photo 2) and presented to Alice Liddell in 1865. Laura Larkin (left, photo 3) and Julia Featheringill prepare to photograph the materials, which will be on display at Houghton Library starting May 20.
