Descriere
Go down the rabbit hole with Alice in this brand-new edition of Lewis Carroll's classic stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
Produced in association with the UK's National Gallery, this handsome new hardback edition's dustjacket features artwork from the gallery's collection and includes expert notes on the art. The image is A Girl with a Kitten, probably by Jean-Baptiste Perroneau – an idealised portrait of a young girl with her pet which evokes Alice and her cat Dinah.
Featuring the full original text of both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, this striking edition is the ideal gift for anyone who loves the characters, wit and sublime silliness of Alice's adventures.
This volume is part of the new Masterpiece Classics series from Welbeck, which includes The Jungle Books.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
For over 125 years John Tenniel's superb illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have been the perfect complement to Lewis Carroll's timeless story. In that time Alice has been illustrated by numerous artists, but not one has come close to matching the universal appeal of the original pictures.
This is the first Alice to reproduce Ternniel's exquisite drawings from prints taken directly from the original wood engravings. Here, Tenniel's fine line work is far crisper, delicate shadings are reproduced with more subtlety, and details never seen before are now visible.
Like most nineteenth-century children's books, the pictures for Alice were created by transferring the artist's drawings to woodblocks, But with Alice, the original blocks served as masters from which metal plates were made for printing. Unfortunately, these plates deteriorated from the repeated pressure applied during printing, and over time, many of the fine lines in Tenniel's pictures simply vanished altogether.As the year-, passed, the original woodblocks disappeared and were believed lost; then, in 1985 they were discovered in a London bank vault.
Now, for the first time, prints from these woodblocks have been used to produce a deluxe gift edition with clearer, more detailed images than have ever been seen before. At last, readers can see the Alice that Carroll and Tenniel had originally envisioned.
