EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created by Sir John Tenniel for the first edition of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" in 1872, transports us into a whimsical world where imagination knows no bounds. The image showcases Carroll's unique ability to blend fantasy with reality, as Alice stumbles upon an enchanting creature known as the Bread-and-butter-fly. The delicate wings of this extraordinary butterfly are crafted from slices of bread and butter, while its head takes the form of a delectable lump of sugar. This delightful fusion of everyday objects with nature's beauty captures both the innocence and creativity that define Carroll's iconic works. Set against a Victorian backdrop, this illustration invites us to explore a realm where anything is possible. It serves as a reminder that even in our mundane existence, there is room for magic and wonder if we dare to look beyond what meets the eye. Tenniel's masterful wood engraving technique brings depth and texture to each element within the image, making it come alive before our eyes. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing his skill at capturing both realism and fantastical elements simultaneously. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to join Alice on her extraordinary journey through Wonderland – reminding us all that sometimes it takes just a touch of imagination to discover something truly extraordinary within ourselves.
