EDITORS COMMENTS
Alice and the Jury: A Victorian Curiosity from the World of Lewis Carroll and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland This intriguing photograph, titled "Alice and the Jury," offers a captivating glimpse into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll and his beloved character, Alice. Dating back to 1865, this image, held in the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, presents an unusual scene that seems to have sprung straight from the pages of Carroll's classic novel. The photograph features Alice, the young heroine of the story, seated in the center, her curious expression reflecting the enigma that surrounds her. She is dressed in a Victorian-era outfit, complete with a long, flowing dress and a sash adorned with the emblem of a white rabbit - a nod to her famous encounter with the iconic character in the original tale. Surrounding Alice are an array of peculiar figures, each adding to the intrigue of the scene. To her left, a stern-faced judge presides over the proceedings, his gavel poised and ready. A jury of six men, clad in armour and wearing the distinctive red wigs of the time, listen intently to the proceedings. A parrot perched on the judge's shoulder adds a touch of the exotic and the unexpected. The scene is further enriched by the presence of various objects that hold significance to both Carroll's life and the Alice stories. A deck of cards lies on the table before the jury, a reference to Carroll's love of card games and his use of playing cards in the tales. Nearby, a plate of tarts and a jar of jam hint at the surreal and delightfully absurd nature of Wonderland. This photograph, a fascinating historical artifact, invites us to explore the rich tapestry of the Alice stories and the enigmatic world of their creator, Lewis Carroll. A must-see for fans of the novels, Victorian history, and the curious wonders of the human imagination.
