Who is the publisher? A pic of the title page would be helpful.

Looks like an early reprint of the edition illustrated by Newell. Probably printed later than 1901, since the date is on the copyright page only.

Here's the 1st with Newell's illustrations. Same publisher, different binding, with the 1901 date directly on the title page:

Alice in Wonderland

Not finding a matching cover is fairly common for books from this era. Alice was reprinted so often that multiple designs were used, even by the same publisher over time. In this case, your cover is a generic design that isn't specific to the story. A girl or young woman reading a book is familiar motif.
