I can t imagine how fascinating might have been to illustrate such delirium. Guess Alice might be the dream of every illustrator. And that is proved by the number of those that adventure themselves in portraying the highest of all the children characters. And the figures surpass the hundred!
And with Tim Burton putting his hands on one of my favorites stories of all times, the buzz around Alice in the Wonderland just tend to increase in the next coming weeks. The British Library is throwing an event by next week and showing off the new display dedicated to the very own first copy of the book. The original was illustrated but nobody else but Lewis Carroll. He actually was a mathematics whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
Lewis Carroll original work, 1862.
Illustrations by Arthur Rackham, 1907.
Mabel Lucie Atwell, 1910.
Gwynedd M. Hudson, 1922
