1872 Alice Carroll Dumpty Humpty Messenger Screams
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Alice: Humpty & Messenger," depicts a dramatic moment from Lewis Carroll's beloved novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865. The image, published by Mary Evans Picture Library in 1872, captures the enigmatic character Humpty Dumpty as he passionately screams into the ear of the White Rabbit's Messenger. Humpty Dumpty, an anthropomorphic egg, is a peculiar and enigmatic character in Carroll's narrative. Known for his famous phrase "When I was an egg, I was considerably more useful than I am now," Humpty Dumpty is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, leaving readers puzzled and intrigued. In this scene, Humpty Dumpty's intensity is palpable as he leans in close to the White Rabbit's Messenger, his large, expressive eyes fixed on the small, frightened figure. The Messenger, clad in a blue waistcoat and carrying a white flag, recoils in alarm, one hand shielding his ear while the other clutches the flag. The glass-plate negative photograph, taken during the Victorian era, showcases the intricate details of the costumes and props, transporting us back in time to the whimsical world of Alice and her extraordinary adventures. The historical significance of this image lies in its connection to Carroll's groundbreaking work and the enduring appeal of the characters he created. This photograph print is not only a beautiful addition to any collection of Alice in Wonderland memorabilia but also a testament to the enduring influence of Carroll's literary masterpiece on popular culture. Whether displayed in a study, library, or gallery, "Alice: Humpty & Messenger" is sure to spark curiosity and delight in viewers of all ages.
