- Curator's comments
- The sheets were originally published in the journal 'Le Chat Noir', and are reproduced here in gillotage. The lithographic covers are given in Crauzat (nos. 215, 216) as having been printed by Charles Verneau of Paris.
A letter to Dodgson from Harold Wright of Colnaghi, dated 20th November 1944 and transcribing the entries from Crauzat, is pasted onto the first page inside the cover.
