Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Illustrated by John Tenniel)

Sir John Tenniel (28 February 1820 -- 25 February 1914) was an English illustrator. He drew many topical cartoons and caricatures for Punch in the late 19th century, including his most famous political cartoon,dropping the pilot, but is best remembered today for his illustrations to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871).
Music by Michael Nyman, 'Where the bee sucks'.

"Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough".

[Qadesh86]

Child of the pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and I and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of fairy-tale. I have not seen thy sunny face, Nor heard thy silver laughter: No thought of me shall find a place In thy young life's hereafter... Enough that now thou wilt not fail To listen to my fairy-tale....

In which Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are the illustrations of John Tenniel? There are so many but I want the original one!

Mi piacciono molto, ha delle soluzioni grafiche molto curiose ed interessanti, e ,sebbene personalmente preferisca le visioni di Rackham,  resto affascinato da Tenniel e dal suo bianco e nero.

Amazing, I enjoyed looking at these vintage illustrations =)

Le immagini di Sir John Tenniel hanno condizionato l'immaginario di Alice. Non bisonfa dimenticare che era un vignettista satirico e anche qui ha voluto aggiungere qualcosa: nell'immagine della Regina di Cuori c'è la regina Vittoria.

Bello! Questo video rende benissimo, sia per le illustrazioni, che per la musica, il senso di profonda e al tempo stesso piacevole inquietudine che mi ha sempre accompagnato durante la lettura del sogno di Alice... :)
