1872 Alice Carroll Knight Poker Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "White Knight Slides Down the Poker," is an enchanting glimpse into the past, showcasing a whimsical fusion of literature, history, and poker. The image, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive collection, dates back to 1872. At the heart of this scene is Alice, the beloved protagonist from Lewis Carroll's iconic novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." However, unlike the Alice we know from the story, this photograph features a different interpretation of the character. Dressed in a Victorian-era outfit, complete with a high collar and long skirt, Alice gazes intently at the poker table, her expression a curious mix of concentration and amusement. Joining Alice at the table is a White Knight, an iconic character from Carroll's tale, who has taken an unexpected turn. Instead of galloping on his horse or engaging in a battle, he gracefully slides down the poker, his armor glinting in the dimly lit room. The knight's expression is one of determination, as if he is fully committed to this unconventional game. The presence of the White Knight and Alice in this historical poker scene adds a layer of intrigue and delight, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The glass table, adorned with a green felt surface and a set of poker chips, further emphasizes the game's authenticity. The books and other Victorian-era paraphernalia scattered around the room add to the richness of the scene, transporting us back in time. This photograph, with its unique blend of literature, history, and poker, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's work and the captivating allure of the past. It invites us to ponder the stories that might have unfolded around this very table, and to appreciate the unexpected twists and turns that life and literature can bring.
