EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Walrus and Carpenter: The Walrus Eats the Last Oyster," is a historical print depicting a scene from Lewis Carroll's beloved narrative poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter." Published in 1872, this timeless work is taken from Carroll's collection of poems, "Phantasmagoria and Other Poems." The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of this iconic literary work. The glass-enclosed print preserves the intricate details of the original illustration, which was created to accompany the poem's publication. In the image, the walrus, a majestic and enigmatic figure, sits atop a rocky shore, surrounded by an array of empty oyster shells. His long, expressive whiskers frame his face, while his large, curious eyes gaze out at the viewer. The carpenter, a small, industrious creature, stands beside him, presenting the last oyster on a silver platter. The walrus, with a gleeful grin, reaches out to grasp the precious mollusk, signaling the end of their feast. This photograph not only serves as a beautiful visual representation of the poem but also offers a glimpse into the historical context of its creation. The intricate details of the illustration, preserved in the glass print, provide a tangible connection to the past and the literary masterpiece that continues to captivate readers and inspire imaginations. For those familiar with Carroll's work, this photograph offers a nostalgic journey into the whimsical world of "Alice in Wonderland" and other fantastical tales. For newcomers, it serves as an intriguing introduction to the enchanting world of Lewis Carroll's poetry and the enduring appeal of his imaginative storytelling.
