The Original Illustrated Alice in Wonderland

Product Information

Alice interpretations abound in this era. Adrian Piper and Joseph McHugh made Alice-inspired works in the characteristic swirling hot pinks and oranges of psychedelic art. Musicians got in on the act, from Jefferson Airplane's delicious, droning 1967 hit White Rabbit though to The Beatles' I am the Walrus, with John Lennon inspired by the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter from Through the Looking-Glass. Ralph Steadman's illustrations duly depict Lennon himself as the caterpillar, while German artist Sigmar Polke collaged Tenniel's original caterpillar into his trippy, polka-dotted works. There's more dottiness in Yayoi Kusama's 1968 "happening", where naked, spot-painted performers cavorted around the Alice statue in Central Park. "Alice was the grandmother of hippies. When she was low, Alice was the first to take pills to make her high," Kusama stated, spelling it out somewhat. When The Nursery “Alice” was printed, Carroll rejected the first copies because of the coloring of the illustrations. He wrote the following to Macmillan, on June 23, 1889: Barry Moser, Alice published in a limited edition by Pennyroyal in 1982 & Looking-Glass the same year. Demakos, Matthew. “Sketch-Trace-Draw.

On 2 May 1864, Carroll sent Tenniel the first piece of slip set up for Alice’s Adventures. Tenniel’s first drawing on wood of the White Rabbit scurrying away from Alice was inspected by Carroll on 12 October 1864, and 34 illustrations were agreed.

Those of us enchanted by imaginative pop-up books— from an adaptation of The Little Prince to the life of Leonardo da Vinci to a naughty Victoriana— are bound to fall in love with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation ( public library) by pop-up book artist and paper engineer Robert Sabuda. Originally published in 2003 — three years after Sabuda’s equally enchanting adaptation of The Wizard of Oz and five years before his take on Peter Pan— the book is a kind of “Victorian peep show” version of the Lewis Carroll classic.

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 book begins with Carroll’s prefatory poem from the book, which recounts the afternoon boat trip on which he first told the Alice in Wonderland story to the three little Liddell sisters — Lorina (“Prima”), Alice (“Secunda”), the real-life girl who inspired the tale, and Edith (“Tertia”): Demakos, Matt.

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. 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’.

In the eighth chapter, three cards are painting the roses on a rose tree red, because they had accidentally planted a white-rose tree that The Queen of Hearts hates. According to Wilfrid Scott-Giles, the rose motif in Alice alludes to the English Wars of the Roses: red roses symbolised the House of Lancaster, while white roses symbolise their rival House of York. [44] Language [ edit ] Public exhibitions of Sir John Tenniel's work were held in 1895 and 1900. Tenniel was also the author of one of the mosaics, Leonardo da Vinci, in the South Court in the Victoria and Albert Museum. His stippled watercolour drawings appeared from time to time in the exhibitions of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, to which he had been elected in 1874. [9] The first full major production was Alice in Wonderland, an 1886 musical play in London's West End by Henry Savile Clarke and Walter Slaughter, which played at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Twelve-year-old actress Phoebe Carlo (the first to play Alice) was personally selected by Carroll for the role. [113] Carroll attended a performance on 30 December 1886, writing in his diary he enjoyed it. [114] The musical was frequently revived during West End Christmas seasons during the four decades after its premiere, including a London production at the Globe Theatre in 1888, with Isa Bowman as Alice.
