EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" with this early 20th century print featuring Alice, the frog footman, and the fish footman. This image, taken from Carroll's beloved children's book, invites us to join Alice on her extraordinary adventure. Alice, a young girl with an inquisitive mind and an insatiable curiosity, stands on the porch of a grand house, her hand extended towards the frog footman, who bows deeply in response. The fish footman, standing beside him, also bows, his finned hat held in his hand. Both footmen are anthropomorphized, humanized creatures with the tails of their respective species, adding to the fantastical nature of this scene. The footmen's livery is reminiscent of Victorian-era formal attire, with white wigs, red waistcoats, and tailcoats. They hold seals and crowns, possibly indicating their roles as doorkeepers or messengers. The seal and wax on the letter in Alice's hand add to the historical context of the image, further emphasizing the rich literary heritage of "Alice in Wonderland." This print, created in the early 20th century, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's classic work. It is a beautiful representation of the imaginative and fantastical world that Alice encounters on her adventures, and a reminder of the importance of curiosity, imagination, and the power of literature to transport us to new and wondrous places.
