A very good copy, with square binding and bright colors on the twelve color plate illustrations.  Alice in Wonderland was one of the first series of titles published in Rand McNally's Windermere Series, which ran from the 1910s into the 1950s.  

The illustrator, Milo Winter (1888-1956), created illustrations for editions of "Aesop's Fables," "A Christmas Carol," and "Arabian Nights" in addition to "Alice in Wonderland."  Winter was later the art editor of Childcraft books from 1947 to 1949.
