Collectors' Guild Alice in Wonderland Lithograph: The Queen's Croquet Ground (1984).

Auction end date: 3/30/2011
Sale price: $274
Details: Misnamed as "The Queen's Party"; No. 158 of 300; 26 x 25.5 in.; issued July, 1984 by Collectors' Guild through American Express.
NOTE: this is not an original intaglio #69-5(I) found in Field catalog pp. 36-37; this is likely a counterfeit as identified in Field catalog p. 259; the signature is likely Dali's, however, the paper was probably signed when blank, so Dali never saw these prints or knew they were printed.  The Dali signature on this print was likely intended for some other print (see The Great Dali Art Fraud & Other Deceptions by Lee Catterall, pp. 152-153).
