Wonder.land returns (kind of)

The curators of the new National Theatre exhibit on poster designs have placed Wonder.land as one of the central exhibits. As you can see in the above photo, the exhibit includes a look at a now hard to find poster, and a equally rare T Shirt. The exhibit is free and runs till the 31st of March 2018.

Brosco is a pianist, but has a good flair for illustration too! These works are from her instagram (link in the source)

Alice, Dum and Dee in an illustration for a 1883 stage version of Through the Looking-Glass. I can find no other record of the actual stage production sadly.

This lovely illustration reminds me of Victorian wood block illustrations.

Thank you so much for supporting me another year and reading my ramblings, analysis and reviews on all things carrollian. There’s no way this blog would function without you!

I’ll be away for the festive season, but I’ll be back in the new year. But for now-

I’m almost certain that my fellow Carrollian bloggers have covered Dagmar Berkova’s illustrations for Alice before, but I managed to find a few more from Through the Looking-Glass, can’t remember if anyone has posted these before….

This new advert for a masked ball in Versailles, France is giving me Wonder.land flashbacks….

Those costumes really look similar to Rae Smith’s….
