1865 Adventures Alice Carroll Hearts Knave Preside Rabbit Trial Wonderland
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a pivotal moment from Lewis Carroll's beloved tale, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published for the first time in 1865. In this intriguing print, Alice (a blissfully innocent and curious young girl) stands before the King and Queen of Hearts in a courtroom setting. The King, a regal figure with a flowing white beard, sternly gazes at Alice, while the Queen, an imperious and flamboyantly dressed monarch, raises her wand, ready to pass judgment. The Knave of Hearts, a mischievous rabbit-like character, sits in the dock, looking guilty and anxious. The trial scene is a testament to Carroll's imaginative storytelling and masterful use of symbolism. The courtroom setting, complete with a jury of playing cards, adds a whimsical touch to the narrative, while the serious expressions of the King and Queen highlight the gravity of the situation. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has captivated readers of all ages for over a century, and this iconic trial scene remains one of the most memorable moments in the story. This historical print, published in 1865, offers a unique glimpse into the world of Alice and her adventures. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate crown of the Queen to the worried expression on the Knave's face, transport us to the magical land of Wonderland and remind us of the timeless appeal of Carroll's classic tale.
