Illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland
/The four eBooks this week are all Lewis Carroll’s Alice and Wonderland; the illustrators are different. They are all available from Project Gutenberg. I’ve chosen 2 illustrations from each book as samples – look at the whole book by clicking the illustrator’s name.
The first one is from 1869 and the illustrator is John Tenniel. According to the Wikipedia entry for this illustrator, his black and white drawings are the definitive depiction of the characters….and the illustrations did look familiar to me!
There are two from 1916 – illustrated by Gordon Robinson and Arthur Rackham. Robinson is the least well known of the illustrators while Rackham is very well-known.
The most recent is from 1921with illustrations done by Charles Folkard; the book is Lewis Carroll words as songs (music by Lucy E. Broadwood).
