1872 Alice Body Brandy Burning Carroll Dragon Holly Plum Pudding Snap Wings Raisin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Alice as the Snap-Dragon-Fly," is a beautiful and whimsical print from the 19th century, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive collection. The photograph, reminiscent of a page straight out of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865, showcases Alice transformed into an extraordinary insect. The Snap-Dragon-Fly, as described in Carroll's narrative, is a fantastical creature with the body of a plum pudding, wings of holly leaves, and the head of a raisin burning in brandy. This enchanting metamorphosis is brought to life in the photograph, with Alice's body artfully crafted to resemble a plump pudding, her arms extended as the wings of holly leaves, and her face replaced by a raisin atop a glass filled with amber brandy, creating the illusion of a fiery head. The historical significance of this print lies in its connection to Carroll's literary masterpiece, which has captivated the imaginations of generations. The Snap-Dragon-Fly scene is one of the most memorable and visually striking moments in the story, and this photograph offers a unique and intriguing interpretation of this fantastical character. The intricate details of the image, from the textured surface of the plum pudding to the delicate veins of the holly leaves, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the photographer. The use of natural elements, such as holly leaves and a glass of brandy, adds to the authenticity and charm of the print. This photograph is a must-have for any collector of historical prints, Alice in Wonderland memorabilia, or anyone with an appreciation for the whimsical and imaginative. The Snap-Dragon-Fly print is a beautiful reminder of the timeless appeal of Carroll's story and the power of imagination to transport us to fantastical worlds.
