EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a hand-drawn illustration of Alice, the iconic character created by the reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll. The illustration, created around 1862, is taken directly from the original manuscript of Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland." In this drawing, Alice is depicted in a curious and whimsical moment as she grows larger and larger, curling up amongst the flowers and leaves. Carroll's intricate and imaginative drawings, including this one, served as the inspiration for Sir John Tenniel's illustrations in the first edition of "Alice in Wonderland," published in 1865. Tenniel's illustrations, which are widely recognized and beloved today, were closely copied from Carroll's original drawings to bring the fantastical world of Wonderland to life. Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" is a seminal work of English literature, known for its nonsensical language, surreal imagery, and intricate plot. The story follows Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a world of talking animals, mad hatters, and the infamous Cheshire Cat. Carroll's unique blend of logic and nonsense continues to captivate readers of all ages and has influenced countless works of literature, film, and art. This historical print is a rare glimpse into the creative process behind the making of a literary classic, offering a unique perspective on the origins of one of the most beloved characters in English literature. The intricate details and whimsical charm of Carroll's illustrations continue to delight and inspire, making this a must-have for any collector of literary history or Alice in Wonderland memorabilia.
