EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Shower of Cards, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" transports us into the whimsical world created by Lewis Carroll. Created by John Tenniel in 1891, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story where chaos ensues as playing cards rain down upon Alice and various animals. Intriguingly, we witness a young girl, presumably Alice herself, fleeing from the shower of cards with a look of astonishment on her face. The intricate details reveal different card suits - spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs - cascading around her. Amongst them are peculiar creatures like a lizard, rabbit, frog and even a duck. Tenniel's skillful depiction showcases the sheer frenzy of this scene as cards flutter through the air while some characters attempt to escape their impending fate. The composition evokes a sense of movement and urgency as if time itself has been suspended within this fantastical realm. "The Shower of Cards" serves as an enchanting reminder that anything is possible within Carroll's imaginative universe. It invites viewers to embrace their own curiosity and embark on extraordinary adventures alongside Alice. This timeless artwork continues to captivate audiences with its rich symbolism and playful narrative that transcends generations.
