Description

W. H. Walker, published by John Lane in 1907. There are around five different binding variants of the first edition including; leather, suede, blue cloth and paper-covered boards. Carroll meets another Alice, Alice Raikes, during his time in London. He talks with her about her reflection in a mirror, leading to the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, which sells even better. While Sewell appears to have done several illustrations, I’d like to focus on his illustrations for 1975 Alitjinya ngura Tjukurtjarangka / Alitji in the Dreamtime translated by Nancy Sheppard into Pitjantjatjara. It’s called Aboriginal Alice but the illustrations are quite unique. University of Maryland notes: “Byron’s illustrations are brilliantly modeled on the mystical bark painting of the indigenous peoples of the Northern territory.” The white rabbit has become a kangaroo with a watch inside his belly. Jan Švankmajer There are hundreds and hundreds of different illustrated versions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Including them all in this list would be a daunting task, and to my mind maybe not so useful, as some are much more beautiful than others. The illustrated bibliography below therefore includes only those editions that really stand out in some special way. The Duchess's lullaby, "Speak roughly to your little boy..."—a parody of David Bates' "Speak Gently"

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 the cover image, the White Rabbit’s waistcoat is replaced with a green scarf and the March Hare is also dressed differently. Mrs J. C. Gorham publishes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Retold in Words of One Syllable in a series of such books published by A. L. Burt Company, aimed at young readers. Lewis Carroll and Helen Oxenbury, illustrators of an edition from Walker Books, win the Kurt Maschler Award for integrated writing and illustration. [66]Auction Record for an Original 'Alice' ".

Peter Blake and Lewis Carroll’s Alice ‘But isn’t it old!’ Tweedledum cried by Peter Blake, 1970, via the Tate Modern, London

Despite the original stories' reliance on wordplay, puns, and nonsense, Alice has become such an icon that she is often used as a touchstone even within primarily visual media. When Christopher Wheeldon first suggested a ballet version, his designer Bob Crowley reportedly thought he was "completely insane" to make a wordless Wonderland. But the Royal Ballet's 2011 show was a huge hit – not least because of Crowley's designs, which combined familiar Alice shorthands with classical tutus and cutting-edge stagecraft, from op-art projections to a multi-part Cheshire cat puppet. The Queen of Hearts stepped out of an intimidatingly huge crinoline-cum-throne-cum-tank, to dance a parody of a sequence from the ballet Sleeping Beauty: both very Lewis Carroll, and very ballet.Ovenden, Graham (1972). The Illustrators of Alice. New York: St. Martin's Press. p.102. ISBN 978-0-902620-25-4. From the very beginning, then, the image of "Alice" has always been central. Tenniel certainly set an extremely high bar for illustrations – and he established many of the Wonderland tropes that endure across every medium, from her pinafore dress to the Hatter's top hat. Part of the reason Alice is so easily re-imagined is because she is so codified in the first place – something artists both use and subvert. The incredible example of cultural cross-pollination is enhanced with essays by mathematician and Dalí collaborator Thomas Banchoff andMark Burstein, president of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America. Blake’s work often includes elements of collage, and his contributions to the cover art of musicians like the Beatles, The Who, and Band Aid have contributed to his reputation as The Godfather of British Pop Art. In 1970, Blake presented the world with his interpretation of yet another British cultural classic: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, Carroll’s 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Tove Jansson, Swedish edition, 1966; first English-language edition published in 1977 by Delacorte Press, New York; first UK edition by Tate Publishing in 2011

Gennady Kalinovsky, published by Inky Parrot Press, 2018, both books in limited editions of 140 & 120 copies respectively and available in a two-volume slip case The journey began at Folly Bridge, Oxford, and ended 5 miles (8.0km) away in Godstow, Oxfordshire. During the trip Carroll told the girls a story that he described in his diary as "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" and which his journal says he "undertook to write out for Alice". [9] Alice Liddell recalled that she asked Carroll to write it down: unlike other stories he had told her, this one she wanted to preserve. [10] She finally received the manuscript more than two years later. [11] 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.

Shaw (c. 1908). There are 8 illustrations but within 2 issues of the book (4 in one and a different 4 in another).

Sir Peter Thomas Blake, born in 1932, has made an extraordinary mark on the British art scene over the years and has become a prominent figure in pop culture as a result. He is most famous for co-creating the sleeve design and artwork for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with Jann Haworth.
