EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from the first edition of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" we are transported into a whimsical world of fantasy and imagination. The print titled "CARROLL: LOOKING GLASS" depicts Queen Alice, the central character, surrounded by the slumbering White and Red Queens. The intricate details of Sir John Tenniel's illustration bring to life Carroll's enchanting tale. Queen Alice, adorned with a crown on her head, stands tall amidst a chessboard-like setting. Her presence exudes both grace and curiosity as she gazes upon the sleeping queens. The contrast between the serene expressions of the sleeping queens and Alice's animated demeanor adds depth to this Victorian-era artwork. Each element in this composition tells its own story - from Alice's adventurous spirit to the delicate features of each queen. As viewers, we are invited to delve into Carroll's imaginative realm where chess pieces come alive and dreams intertwine with reality. This wood engraving captures not only an iconic moment in literature but also showcases Tenniel's mastery in bringing characters to life through his illustrations. This timeless piece serves as a reminder that even within our dreams, there is room for exploration and self-discovery. It transports us back to a time when storytelling was cherished, igniting our own sense of wonderment and reminding us that sometimes it takes stepping through a looking glass to truly find ourselves.
