EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century photograph print transports us to the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," as Alice encounters the enigmatic Duchess, her cook, and a screaming baby. Dressed in Victorian-era attire, Alice, with her innocent expression and blonde curls, stands in stark contrast to the grotesque and comical figures before her. The Duchess, with her elaborate headdress reminiscent of Quentin Massys' "The Duke of Cleves and His Household," exudes an air of regality and ugliness, while her cook, with her medieval-inspired costume and large, pointed hat, seems both comically exaggerated and ominous. In the background, a fire blazes in the kitchen, casting an orange glow over the scene, as a pot bubbles on the range. The Cheshire Cat, peeking in from the doorway, watches the chaos unfold with a cryptic grin. The presence of the screaming baby, with its red, tear-streaked face, adds an element of chaos and unpredictability to this fantastical encounter. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing characters, invites us to explore the depths of Carroll's imaginative world and the timeless appeal of his beloved story.
