Alice's adventures in wonderlandBy: Lewis Carroll & Salvador Dali |
our mission:
“And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation?”
- Lewis Carroll
This website focuses on Salvador Dali's 1969 illustrated rendition of Lewis Carroll's 1897 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Our aim for this site is to provide background, publication, and illustration information on the portfolios. First, a background history delves into a summary of Alice and contextual information on both Carroll and Dali, as author and illustrator respectively. In addition, you will find publication and illustration history that sheds light on how the book was made and the significance of the artwork within its unbound pages. Alongside this research, we comment on the impact Dali's contribution in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has on book history, as a broader discourse. We hope that the interactivity of this site will engage visitors to ponder upon the relationship between text, illustration, and reader experience.
