EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as depicted in this early 20th century print. In this enchanting scene, Alice, the curious and imaginative young girl, is seen dancing the Lobster Quadrille with two fantastical creatures from the story: the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon, a mythical creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's beak, gazes intently at Alice. The Mock Turtle, a turtle dressed in a mock military uniform, looks on with a bemused expression. This delightful image, taken from Victorian-era literature, transports us to a time when the boundaries between reality and fantasy were blurred, and the imagination reigned supreme. Alice, dressed in her blue and white checkered dress and holding a fan, is lost in the moment, her laughter echoing across the sandy seashore. The rocky shore, with its craggy rocks and clear blue water, serves as the perfect backdrop for this magical encounter. This print, featuring the iconic illustrations of Sir John Tenniel, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's classic work. The Lobster Quadrille, a dance described in the book, is brought to life in this image, inviting us to join Alice on her extraordinary adventure down the rabbit hole.
