The Real Alice In Wonderland - 25 Pictures
Before Alice ever set foot in Wonderland,
there was Alice Liddell, the 10-year-old friend
of an eccentric, stuttering lecturer in mathematics
who would later find fame as a writer, under
the name Lewis Carroll.

Dodgson's relationship with Alice, and in fact all the Liddell's is cloaked in mystery and speculation, as much of the evidence was destroyed and Alice herself seems to have been embarrassed by the connection, much as Christopher Robin was.; 12 juli, 2010

Copyright on these images varies.
It is best to assume that modern,
living artists have full
copyright on their work.
I am using them under
'fair use' with,
at least I try to,
full acknowledgement
and links to appropriate sites.
I would advise others to always
check if possible as artists
(understandably) vary
as to their tolerance
of re-use of their works.
