EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Lobster Quadrille: Alice Dances with the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon," is a historical snapshot from the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1865. The photograph, which is not to be confused with the company named Lobster Quadrille, is a stunning representation of one of the most memorable scenes from the beloved novel. Alice, the inquisitive and adventurous young protagonist, is seen gracefully dancing with two fantastical creatures: the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon. The Mock Turtle, a curious amalgamation of a turtle and various other animal parts, dons a formal waistcoat and top hat, while the Gryphon, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, playfully holds Alice's hand. The trio is surrounded by an assortment of other peculiar creatures, all gathered for the Lobster Quadrille, a bizarre and fantastical dance. This photograph, which is part of the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Carroll's literary masterpiece. The intricate details of the characters' costumes and the surreal setting transport viewers to the enchanting world of Wonderland, where logic and reason are turned upside down, and the impossible becomes possible. The Lobster Quadrille scene, with its delightful blend of the absurd and the beautiful, continues to captivate readers and audiences alike, making it a timeless classic that has stood the test of time. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's work but also a reminder of the power of imagination and the joy of exploring new worlds.
