number 124 of 350 copies. "There is greater cohesion in `Looking-Glass' than in `Alice.' I have never been able to understand why the critics called the pictures `dark.' I intended them to be whimsical and humorous displaying a kind of calculated pandemonium"--Moser, in The Pennyroyal Checklist, 1986.
