EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Off with their Heads, c1900" transports us back to the enchanting world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The image is a reproduction of an illustration by Sir John Tenniel, beautifully captured on a coloured lantern slide from the Primus Junior Lecturers Series by W. Butcher & Sons in London. The scene depicted here belongs to Chapter III: Who Stole Tarts, where Alice finds herself immersed in a whimsical game of croquet. In this surreal setting, we witness a group of girls engaged in the peculiar pastime using flamingos as mallets and playing cards as hoops. The vibrant colours bring life to every detail - from the vividly dressed female players to the intricate patterns adorning their surroundings. Tenniel's artistic brilliance shines through his portrayal of these characters, capturing both their innocence and mischievousness simultaneously. Every stroke reveals his mastery at creating fantastical worlds that continue to captivate readers even today. As we gaze upon this century-old print, we are reminded of the enduring power of literature and art to transport us beyond reality into realms filled with imagination and wonder. It serves as a testament to Lewis Carroll's genius storytelling and Tenniel's ability to breathe life into his words through illustrations that have become iconic symbols of Victorian literature. This remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection allows us not only to appreciate its historical significance but also invites us on an extraordinary journey down the rabbit hole into an unforgettable adventure that has enchanted
