The frontispieces were drawn by Charles Copeland! I got that information from The Annotated Alice, which describes the Cromwell editions as "unauthorized".

I'm trying to understand the Thomas Y Crowell US editions of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass from the 1890s. Jesse Bridgman illustrated them, imitating Tenniel and often copying Tenniel illustrations. Are they pirate editions or legitimate editions published with Carroll's permission? Or a US/UK copyright grey area? The books would still have been in copyright in the UK (under the 1842 Copyright Act, they'd have been in copyright for 42 years). Crowell were a legit publisher (now part of Harper Collins) but I can't imagine Carroll or Tenniel authorising this. Someone out there must have insight or knowledge... (And they were filed by Crowell with the Library of Congress for copyright purposes.)

(All Bridgman illustrations except the last one, which is the original Tenniel that Bridgman was copying.)

My guess would be the kind of US/UK copyright oddnesses that meant that Gilbert and Sullivan had to mount special productions of their plays to keep the US copyright.

i know we have a lot of flowers in game already, but i think they should add white rose bushes to the pale garden

its more forest than garden rn so some more foliage besides trees would probably help w/ the whole vibe theyre going for

also its more dark gray-green than pale rn so i hope they lighten up the textures a lil bit

Hydrangea paniculata (panicled hydrangea)

Meanwhile, back at the library...

In summer, the petals of this hydrangea species are snow white but as autumn advances, they turn bright pink. I like them at this time of year the best. Our local library is home to this magnificent living wall, technically called the Semiahmoo Sky Garden. If this is a horticultural mural, then I applaud the artist/gardener for a welcome splash of color - as the autumn leaves begin to fall.
