Rarely has an author been so successfully served by an illustrator as Carroll by Tenniel. Yet every decade has produced it's own Alice. There have been Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Surrealist, and Pop Alices. Virtually every year and in every major country a new illustrated edition of Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is published. This book contains a selection of some of the best and most interesting illustrations done over the last century. From them we can see that Carroll's classic texts have appealed to artists as they have to readers, every one of whom has their own idea of what Alice, the Mad Hatter, or the Duchess were really like.
Condition
A good reference copy. Light wear to the covers and a little straining to the binding at the title page but otherwise in strong readable condition.
