1865 Alice Carroll Kitten Plays String Twine Wool
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Alice and the Kitten with Wool and Twine," is a charming depiction of a young girl named Alice engaged in a playful moment with a black kitten. The photograph, published in 1865, is part of the extensive collection held by the Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. The historical context of this photograph is intriguing, as it predates the publication of Lewis Carroll's famous "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by ten years. However, the name Alice in this photograph is not related to Carroll's literary character. Instead, it is likely that the image was given this title due to the popular association between Alice and kittens during that era. The black kitten in the photograph is shown in a delightful scene, playfully batting at a ball of twine with its paw. The use of twine instead of the more commonly known yarn or wool adds an interesting twist to the image, suggesting that this kitten may have been destined for a life as a mouser or perhaps even a working cat. The presence of books in the background further emphasizes the educational and intellectual atmosphere of the scene. The books, with their worn covers and open pages, suggest that Alice is a curious and inquisitive child who enjoys learning. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a charming reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the bond between children and their pets. It is a beautiful and timeless image that continues to captivate viewers, inviting us to imagine the stories that lie behind the scene.
