EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by renowned artist John Tenniel in 1889, this enchanting illustration captures the essence of Victorian-era storytelling. In this scene, we witness a peculiar meeting between three intriguing characters. Alice, a young girl with an adventurous spirit, finds herself amidst the idyllic English countryside where mythical creatures come to life. Engrossed in conversation, she engages with the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon - two mythical beings that embody both humor and mystery. Tenniel's meticulous engraving technique brings depth and detail to every element of this artwork. From Alice's curious expression to the intricate patterns adorning their clothing, each stroke adds to the overall charm of this piece. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when literature was filled with imagination and magic. This print serves as a reminder of how stories can ignite our sense of wonderment while simultaneously challenging societal norms. "The Mock Turtle, Alice and The Gryphon" is not just an illustration; it is an invitation into a fairy tale realm where dreams intertwine with reality. Tenniel's artistic prowess combined with Carroll's literary genius creates an enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century has passed.
