EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with this photograph of Alice, the beloved literary character, closely observed by a railway guard in an 1872 railway carriage. This historical image, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive collection, transports us back in time to an era of intrigue and wonder. Alice, dressed in her blue and white checked dress, sits comfortably in the railway carriage, engrossed in a book. Her expression is one of deep concentration as she reads, oblivious to the curious gaze of the railway guard. The guard, with a stern expression and a monocle perched on his nose, holds a pair of binoculars, intently studying Alice. A goat, perhaps a nod to the surreal nature of Carroll's story, is seen peering in through the window of the carriage, adding to the sense of intrigue. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The glass partition between the guard's compartment and the carriage, the ornate hat of the guard, and the vintage railway carriage design all contribute to the historical context of the image. The presence of Alice, a character who has captivated the imaginations of generations, adds an extra layer of intrigue and delight. This photograph is not only a beautiful and intriguing historical artifact, but it also offers a unique connection to the rich literary history of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." It invites us to ponder the mysteries of the story and to imagine the adventures that might have unfolded if Alice had continued her journey on the railway. The close observation of Alice by the railway guard adds an element of suspense and excitement, making this photograph a must-see for fans of Carroll's classic tale and for anyone with a love for history and the art of photography.
