An Anthology of Alice


This Alice is by Frank Bolle from 1984.
This Alice is by Jessie Wilcox-Smith from 1923.



These are by Maria L. Kirk from 1904.




And these are by Bessie Pease Gutmann from 1907.


Michael Hague, 1985.

There have been so many interpretations of Lewis Carrolls story over the last 145 years since it was written, the latest being Tim Burton's much hyped 3d film (which I have yet to see).
I used to have Anthony Browne's book and the Michael Hague version and possibly a Peter Blake version at some point too. There are loads more on this index of Alice illustrators.
By their nature, almost all are pretty dreamy and psychedelic.

Disney's 1951 film.
