EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass". The wood engraving, created by Sir John Tenniel for the first edition in 1872, depicts a pivotal moment in Alice's journey through this whimsical fantasy realm. In this scene, we see Alice as the White Pawn on a chessboard. She stands poised and determined, ready to make her move. With only eleven moves at her disposal, she must strategize carefully to secure victory against her opponents. The intricate details of Tenniel's illustration transport us into Carroll's imaginative universe. The Victorian-era setting is evident through Alice's attire and the ornate design of the chess pieces. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the clinking sounds of ivory against ivory as each move is made. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image symbolizes resilience and triumph in adversity. Despite being just a pawn on a vast board filled with challenges, Alice represents courage and resourcefulness that transcends her humble position. Whether you are an admirer of Carroll's literary works or simply appreciate art that captures moments from beloved stories, this wood engraving serves as a timeless reminder of imagination’s power to transport us to extraordinary realms where anything is possible.
