Description

Vintage Digitally Restored 1900's ALICE IN WONDERLAND Poster Watermark will be removed High Resolution, 300 DPI Premium Semi-Gloss Paper Unframed, comes shipped In Mailing Tube When the copyright for the Tenniel edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" expired in 1906, the publisher William Heinemann commissioned Rackham to embark upon a new set of illustrations, despite attacks from the critics who considered it nearly sacrilegious to revise Tenniel's classic illustrations of 1865. Rackham's drawings, though the most controversial of his career, proved extremely successful examples of his vivid imagination and explorations into fantasy. His drawings for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" have appeared in English, French, and German editions. The topsy-turvy scale in the story and the opportunities for metamorphosis in Lewis Carroll's novel lend themselves perfectly to the fantastical imagery that exemplifies Rackham's work.
