EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from the first edition of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" we are transported back to Victorian times, where a young girl named Alice finds herself in a whimsical world. The image depicts a ticket-taker on a train inspecting Alice with his opera glasses, adding an element of intrigue and curiosity to the scene. The intricate details of Sir John Tenniel's illustration bring the characters to life, showcasing Carroll's imaginative storytelling. The ticket-taker is portrayed as a distinguished man, dressed in formal attire befitting his role. With his opera glasses raised to his eyes, he carefully examines Alice as she stands before him. Alice, our adventurous protagonist, appears both curious and slightly apprehensive under the watchful gaze of the ticket-taker. Her Victorian dress and innocent expression capture her youthful innocence amidst this fantastical journey through Wonderland. This wood engraving not only serves as an artistic representation of Carroll's beloved tale but also provides insight into transportation during that era. The presence of a goat within the railroad car adds an unexpected touch of whimsy and humor to this already enchanting scene. As we observe this timeless print by The Granger Collection, we are reminded once again why Lewis Carroll's stories continue to captivate readers across generations – they transport us into magical worlds where anything is possible.
