Unusual for British children’s literature during the Victorian era, Carroll’s tale is neither moralistic nor instructional. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass were part of a burgeoning literary genre which aimed to capture a child’s imagination, often through the use of illustrations. The result is a timeless tale, recognized across the world for its artistry and wordplay. Initially, Carroll wanted to use his own manuscript illustrations for the official publication of “ Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland“. However, he was discouraged to do that and eventually admitted that he needed a professional illustrator. And yet Lord’s own illustrations invite a wealth of meaning — the most “delightfully illuminating” kind possible. He argues that illustrators of classics like Carroll’s have the special duty of “confounding people’s expectations,” as readers are already well familiar with the stories and long “to be given a different slant to a familiar narrative.” I was fortunate enough to hunt down one of these rare editions — here’s a taste of Lord’s unparalleled genius: Schwab, Gabriele (1996).

Carroll first met Alexander Macmillan, a high-powered London publisher, on 19 October 1863. [11] His firm, Macmillan Publishers, agreed to publish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by sometime in 1864. [67] Carroll financed the initial print run, possibly because it gave him more editorial authority than other financing methods. [67] He managed publication details such as typesetting and engaged illustrators and translators. [68] Carroll meets another Alice, Alice Raikes, during his time in London. He talks with her about her reflection in a mirror, leading to the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, which sells even better.

When Alice meets the Cheshire Cat sitting in a tree, he vanishes and reappears again at once. When Alice walks on, he reappears again on a branch. This time, he disappears more slowly, on Alice’s request. However, the picture of this slow vanishing shows the Cheshire Cat sitting in exactly the same tree as he was in when Alice met him before walking on.
