The British Library has posted an extraordinary online version of the original hand-written and self-illustrated manuscript for Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, a.k.a. Charles Dodgson.
Please note the 'enlarge' feature, it allows you to really enjoy Dodgson's drawings, which I find very talented. Not smoothly skilled like a professional artist's, but they have a lot of graphic power.
Alice in Wonderland was one of my first favourite books when I was a child.....and I still love it!
ReplyDeleteI haven`t had a chance yet today to look at the on-line version, but I will this weekend!
Must thank you again, Eolake, for letting us know about this one, I can`t wait to see these illustrations as well as read the book again.
Many thanks my dear, will speak to you soon.
