This example is a genuine 1876 issue with the correct border size and all points of WMG 116, including the critical 'my' in Roman type at line 12 on the third page and E. Towgood's watermark.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; 9 illustrations by Henry Holiday, including frontispiece, light toning and spotting to prelims, previous owner's signature to half-title; publisher's cream pictorial cloth, all edges gilt, spine and extremities slightly darkened, quite pronounce cockling to cloth, more evident on upper board; first issue of An Easter Greeting to Every Child Who Loves "Alice" and 1928 newspaper clipping from The Times tipped in, overall a very good copy.
