Published by Kawade Shobo in 1976, unpaginated, 24,8×26,5 cm
First edition, 4th printing hardcover with slipcase and obi
Condition: Very good – (The slipcase shows some surface scratches and a small tear on the back. The book itself has light spotting, bumped on a upper pages corner, and slight discoloration along the spine.) Overall, a very nice and well-preserved copy.

Alice is Hajime Sawatari’s legendary debut photobook — a daring and poetic reinterpretation of Alice in Wonderland, shot entirely in England with a ten-year-old model named Samantha.
Both controversial and deeply evocative, Alice blurs the line between innocence and sensuality. Its portrayal of childhood within surreal, cinematic settings has made it one of the most debated and iconic works in Japanese photography.

One of the best photobook ever.
