1865 Adventures Alice Carroll Croquet Duchess Flamingo Hedge Hog Match Wonderland
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as depicted in this 1865 illustration of the iconic croquet match scene by the renowned English photographer, Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures Alice, the curious and adventurous young heroine, engaging in a surreal game of croquet with the Duchess and the Cheshire Cat looking on. The scene is set in the enchanting landscape of Wonderland, where the impossible becomes possible, and the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. The Duchess, an eccentric character from the novel, is seen wearing an extravagant dress and holding a flamingo as a mallet, while Alice wields a hedgehog as her croquet ball. Surrounded by a riot of colorful flowers, the scene is a visual feast for the eyes, transporting us to a fantastical realm where the laws of physics and logic do not apply. Published in 1865, this historical image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's classic work, which has captivated generations of readers with its imaginative storytelling and unforgettable characters. The croquet match scene, in particular, has become an iconic moment in literary history, immortalized in this beautiful and intricately detailed photograph. This image is not only a must-have for any Alice in Wonderland enthusiast, but also a stunning addition to any collection of historical photographs or illustrations. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the creative mind of Lewis Carroll and the magical world he brought to life in his beloved books.
