EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Alice and the Dormouse" captures a moment of enchantment from the late 19th century. Taken in 1887 by Ernest Barraud, this print showcases two figures immersed in the world of British theatre. The image portrays a young girl, dressed in a Victorian costume, sitting alongside an actor portraying the dormouse. Their expressive faces reveal their dedication to their craft as they bring Lewis Carroll's beloved characters to life on stage. The intricate details of their costumes reflect the attention to authenticity that was characteristic of this era. As we gaze at this monochrome portrait, we are transported back to a time when literature and acting intertwined seamlessly. The actress embodies Alice's curiosity and innocence while sharing the stage with her furry companion. This scene is reminiscent of Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's (Lewis Carroll) whimsical tale, "Alice in Wonderland". Ernest Barraud skillfully captures this theatrical moment with his camera lens, freezing it for eternity within this print from The Theatre magazine. It serves as both a testament to the enduring popularity of Carroll's work and as a tribute to the talent and creativity found within British performing arts during that era. This remarkable piece offers us not only a glimpse into history but also an invitation to immerse ourselves in wonderland once again through its timeless charm.
