The Illustrated Alice in Wonderland (The Golden Age of Illustration Series)

Product Information

Using the caricature technique of comic comparison, Carroll positions Alice next to objects and creatures that are smaller and larger to make her appear, in turn, taller and littler. For example, in Chapter I, in a marginal inset illustration, Carroll draws Alice lying on the ground, leaning on her elbow to gaze directly at the White Rabbit, who is standing next to her and appearing to be half her size (Under Ground [UG] 13). Carroll effectively uses comic comparison to show Alice shrinking as well as growing. In Chapter III, Carroll places Alice standing next to a large Puppy, towering over her (UG 46). Carroll also intensifies Alice’s small stature here by positioning her in profile. Alice appears slight and petite alongside the Puppy, drawn in three-quarter view and filling two-thirds of the illustration. Robson, Catherine (2001).

The Duchess's lullaby, "Speak roughly to your little boy..."—a parody of David Bates' "Speak Gently" The Queen of Hearts’ dress is in fact not modelled after the outfit of a 19th century Queen of Hearts playing card, but the dress of a Queen of Spades card ( Hancher)! It is unclear whether Tenniel intentionally chose another suit as a model for the queen’s outfit.Insight: The enduring charm of Alice in Wonderland". The Scotsman.

As the book and its sequel are Carroll's most widely recognised works, they have also inspired numerous live performances, including plays, operas, ballets, and traditional English pantomimes. These works range from fairly faithful adaptations to those that use the story as a basis for new works. Eva Le Gallienne's stage adaptation of the Alice books premiered on 12 December 1932 and ended its run in May 1933. [117] The production has been revived in New York in 1947 and 1982. A community theatre production of Alice was Olivia de Havilland's first foray onto the stage. [118] Alice is full of linguistic play, puns, and parodies. [45] According to Gillian Beer, Carroll's play with language evokes the feeling of words for new readers: they "still have insecure edges and a nimbus of nonsense blurs the sharp focus of terms". [46] The literary scholar Jessica Straley, in a work about the role of evolutionary theory in Victorian children's literature, argues that Carroll's focus on language prioritises humanism over scientism by emphasising language's role in human self-conception. [47] The Alice we expect today may have had the Hollywood treatment along the way, then, but one of the most striking things about the characters of Wonderland is how very easily they morph and bend to an artist's vision, while still remaining recognisable.

On July 4, 1862, English mathematician and logician Charles Dodgson boarded a small boat with a few friends. Among them was a little girl named Alice Liddell. To entertain her and her sisters as they floated down the river between Oxford and Godstow, Dodgson fancied a whimsical story, which he’d come to publish three years later under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Alice in Wonderland went on to become one of the most beloved children’s books of all time, and my all-time favorite. Tenniel may even have added his own subtle references in the illustrations: read about the origins behind Tenniel’s illustrations.

Characters from the book are depicted on the stained glass windows of Carroll's hometown church, All Saints', in Daresbury, Cheshire. [127] Another commemoration of Carroll's work in his home county of Cheshire is the granite sculpture, The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, located in Warrington. [128] International works based on the book include the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park, New York, and the Alice statue in Rymill Park, Adelaide, Australia. [129] [130] In 2015, Alice characters featured on a series of UK postage stamps issued by the Royal Mail to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of the book. [131] See also [ edit ] In 1959, three years before the publication of her gorgeous illustrations for The Hobbit and nearly two decades after her iconic Moomin characters were born, celebrated Swedish-speaking Finnish artist Tove Jansson was commissioned to illustrate a now-rare Swedish edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland ( public library), crafting a sublime fantasy experience that fuses Carroll’s Wonderland with Jansson’s Moomin Valley. The publisher, Åke Runnquist, thought Jansson would be a perfect fit for the project, as she had previously illustrated a Swedish translation of Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark— the 1874 book in which the word “snark” actually originated— at Runnquist’s own request.

In three of the images Alice retains the double-line of stitching at the bottom of her dress, but in others this has been omitted. On 12 March 1870, Carroll and Tenniel met for two hours in London to set out the plans for 30 more pictures, having already sent three to the Dalziel Brothers at Camden Press for ‘cutting’. J.
