EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Alice tries to play croquet with a flamingo as a mallet" takes us on a whimsical journey into the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Created by the talented artist John Tenniel in 1889, this illustration perfectly captures the essence of Carroll's imaginative tale. In this scene, we see young Alice attempting to engage in an unconventional game of croquet using a flamboyant flamingo as her mallet. With determination shining through her eyes, she navigates the surreal landscape with grace and curiosity. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing both its Victorian charm and timeless appeal. Tenniel's attention to detail is evident throughout; from Alice's flowing dress and pigtails to the delicate feathers adorning the flamingo. This enchanting artwork transports us back to 19th century England, where children would eagerly gather around for bedtime stories filled with adventure and wonder. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of literature and art to transport us beyond our everyday lives. It serves as a reminder that imagination knows no bounds - even ordinary objects like flamingos can become extraordinary tools for play in Carroll's magical realm. This iconic illustration beautifully encapsulates not only Alice's playful spirit but also highlights Tenniel's exceptional talent as an illustrator. It continues to captivate audiences today, reminding us all that sometimes it takes just one small step into fantasy for our imaginations to take
