These were discovered in two deed boxes belonging to Macmillan in 1985, in the vaults of the National Westminster Bank where they had lain undisturbed since World War II. Macmillan then commissioned The Rocket Press to produce a limited edition of 250 prints taken directly from the blocks, the first time they had been used to create new complete edition. Previously Macmillan had treated them as masters, only taking them out of storage to cut electrotype copies for each fresh printing. Only the block for 'Alice & the Dodo' was missing so Jonathan Stephenson used an electrotype in its place, for completeness. No further sets were commissioned by the The Rocket Press and the woodblocks were eventually deposited in the British Library. The bindings for the commentary volume, the solander boxes housing the prints, and the slipcase were bound by The Fine Bindery, Wellingborough

He grew up in San Francisco and attended Mark Hopkins Art Academy, later on attending University of California Berkeley for engineering. In 1915, he studied art under Frank Duveneck in Cincinnati, Ohio. Eventually resettling in New York, he became a part of the Woodstock art colony and also designed stained glass windows for Tiffany & Co. He became an instructor at the Art Students League in New York in 1926. Later on he became head of the painting department at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts, and during this time began to paint portraits of women with idealistic, dreamy qualities. He exaggerated the femininity of his subjects with sweeping brush strokes, giving them a mystical presence. John Carroll has exhibited all throughout the country including Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Detroit Institute, and the Whitney Museum, to name a few. oil on canvas Dimensions: 25"H x 22 1/4"W
