EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from the timeless children's story, Alice in Wonderland. Created by Andre Pecoud and published by Editions Delagrave in Paris in 1935, this colour lithograph transports us to a whimsical world of imagination. In the image, we see Alice engaged in conversation with the iconic Caterpillar as they sit atop a mushroom. The Caterpillar is depicted smoking a nargileh or hookah, adding an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene. This portrayal perfectly captures Lewis Carroll's fantastical narrative and his ability to blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every detail of the illustration, from Alice's curious expression to the intricate patterns on her dress. It is evident that great care was taken in preserving both the essence of Carroll's story and Pecoud's artistic vision. This piece serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us into magical realms where anything is possible. It also highlights some controversial elements such as tobacco use within children's stories, which sparks discussions about societal norms and changing perspectives over time. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of literature's most beloved tales while showcasing exceptional artistry that continues to captivate audiences even decades later.
