EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Mock Turtle, The Gryphon and Alice" takes us on a whimsical journey into the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Created by the talented artist John Tenniel in 1889, this enchanting illustration captures a pivotal moment in the story. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a peculiar meeting between three extraordinary characters. Alice, portrayed as an innocent young girl with boundless curiosity, stands at the center of attention. To her left is the Mock Turtle, an endearing mythical creature with its shell adorned with intricate patterns. On her right stands the majestic Gryphon, exuding both grace and strength. Tenniel's meticulous engraving skillfully brings these fictional beings to life within a Victorian-era backdrop. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to their expressions and highlights every intricate detail of their features. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a realm where imagination knows no bounds; where talking creatures coexist with humans and absurdity reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transport us beyond reality's constraints. "The Mock Turtle, The Gryphon and Alice" invites us to embark on an unforgettable adventure filled with humor and wonderment—a testament to Carroll's genius storytelling combined with Tenniel's artistic prowess. This timeless piece continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century since its creation—an enduring tribute to two creative minds who have forever shaped our understanding of fantasy literature.
