  • Notes:
    This is the 18th or 19th volume in the unnumbered Queen's Treasures reprint series, one of two new in 1914. One library record suggests that it contains the 42 original b/w drawings by John Tenniel as well as the colour plates by Woodward (OCLC 559336422). The illustrations by Woodward may be only a selection from the 1913 edition.

    British Library (BL, below) reports 6 plates. Publisher advertisements of the series routinely contain the general description "With 8 Coloured Plates and Decorated Cover, Title Page and End Papers." That is true of the series listing atop "Messrs. Bell's Xmas List", The Bookman 1914-12 p103, which confirms the unchanged price, "2/6 net each". Alice is one of the listed New Volumes This Year (2), which bring the complete list to stated Nineteen Old-time Favourites (19).

    The cover, endpapers, and title page may be illustrated by {{a|M. V. Wheelhouse}}, which some earlier notices of the series imply for all volumes.
