Yes, these are from Shorewood Publishing in 1969. 2500 Sets were created, they look like books with a slip case etc. There is also text that goes along with the pieces. They were meant to stay together as sets, so the only pencil signed print was the frontice piece, signed in pencil, all others are plate or engraved signature.

Thanks Dan!
I wasn’t able to uncover much in the way of background information on the images & it’s great to have a bit more of their history.
I have a collage which is Alice in Wonderland by Dali. I purchased it in the late 1970s from at art dealer in Paramus, New Jersey. I am interested in selling it and can send you a picture if you would like. I have no idea what it is worth.
Are you interested in selling the Alice in Wonderland prints?
Hi Nanine. Sadly, I don’t actually have copies of these or any of Salvador Dali’s works, nor could I tell you where to find them. Best of luck with your search though!
Hi nanine I’ve got proofs from Alice in wonderland I could sell.Please send me a mail at christophedesgranges@hotmail.com best regards.
I obtained Mad Tea Party as shown in Miami, Florida in late 1988. It is numbered 89/300. Moving to the area in 85 and moving to a remote area into a new highrise overlooking the quiet area of South Beach. Working in a sports franchise endeavor that became known later as the Miami Heat/Orlando Magic and so much surrounding this, the many work needs to attend the arts and culture throughout was incredible. Having Erte shows in the evening walks to pop in a learn about art, only to compare anything to my vocal love of Dali, found an Erte “Spring”, with jewelry and plates to follow over the years to the cherished gift over a bet of a heavywieght fight on 8th and Ocean (a few doors down from the remote artists club in the “club scene block) -
Being a private owner of extensive originals, some never seen before, almost now to me, a surreal discovery of their fame since then, my Mad Tea party has stayed above my desk through two devasting hurricaines and a massive earthquake. All of children and my own life can be recalled through memories of my Dali. The bet ? Erte was fascinated by lack of interest in his work and my tattered Dali book reference given to me by my mother after Vietnam in my home of Hawaii. If I knew the story of the Alice and Wonderland and OTHER pieces commisioned because of it and WHY it was not mass produced or used iin the “fraud rush” of random gallery “floods”, I could HAVE the lady I admired, in Spring AND his copy of Mad Tea Party. As a legal mind, I had first person accounts of Dali’s complete frustration in the corporate world’s theft and disenchantments with what was asked for and delivered in three other intial pieces. He was chastised for them and asked to destroy Alice and Wonderland inclusively, “or else”.Having a very legit claim, he spited all and kept the Alice series, allowing it to get to the world. Notably, it is rarely seen and never showcased. This and accounts, affirmations of more famed artists and collectors of Dali during those magical few years fed my passions and kept many artists in conversations many evenings which happily overshadowed their new South Beach revivial efforts. And did they ever revive it. I will miss it always. There is a great story behind this and 2 other never seen pieces.It is af if those who carry the truth are sworn to protect him and his works forever. That is how I feel. Blessed in life and art. Art truly imitates life. All the best.
Hi can anyone tell me where i can find dali’s version of the story cant find it anywhere only
lewis carrolls
From what I understand, the text of the Dali’s Wonderland book retains the original Lewis Carroll story. I’ve poked around a bit and can recommend a couple of places where you might purchase the entire book, though they’re likely very expensive as they’re signed, numbered limited editions.
You’ll find a brief video about the books here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9_jSL0NL9E
and you can purchase the book from Abe Books:
