EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865. In this enchanting scene, Alice (not depicted) is engaged in an extraordinary encounter with the Mock Turtle (left) and the Gryphon (right). The Mock Turtle, a curious amalgamation of a turtle and a soldier, dons a red waistcoat and a top hat, while the Gryphon, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, rests his paw on a mushroom. Carroll's imaginative storytelling and intricate illustrations have captivated generations of readers since the book's first publication. This photographic print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of this literary classic. The original illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" were created by Sir John Tenniel, who brought Carroll's fantastical characters to life with his meticulous attention to detail and exquisite artistic skill. The Mock Turtle and the Gryphon are among the most memorable characters from Carroll's tale, as they regale Alice with their nonsensical songs and riddles. The scene depicted in this photographic print is taken from Chapter 10 of the novel, in which Alice attends the Mock Turtle's "un-birthday party," where she learns the nonsensical "Rule of Three" and participates in the "Game of Croquet." This photographic print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office, but also a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's timeless masterpiece. Whether you are an avid collector of historical literature, an admirer of Victorian illustration, or simply a fan of the curious and the fantastical, this print is sure to delight and inspire you.
