EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Henry George Liddell, a distinguished British scholar and the Dean of Christchurch at Oxford University. Known as the father of Alice, who was immortalized in Lewis Carroll's beloved tale "Alice in Wonderland". Liddell's influence extended far beyond his academic achievements. In this remarkable Vanity Fair cartoon from January 30,1875, created by C Pellegrini (also known as Ape), we see Liddell donning his traditional Oxford gown and mortar board while preaching with an air of intellectual superiority. The cleverly crafted caricature showcases Liddell's scholarly demeanor and his significant role within the English academic community. Liddell's legacy is intertwined with both academia and literature, making him an iconic figure in British history. As the Dean of Christchurch, he played a vital role in shaping educational policies and fostering intellectual growth at one of England's most prestigious institutions. Furthermore, being Alice's father adds another layer to Liddell's story. His daughter inspired one of the most enchanting characters in literary history—Alice herself—who ventured into Wonderland on whimsical adventures that continue to captivate readers young and old. This print serves as a testament to Henry George Liddell’s profound impact on education, literature, and society as a whole—a true embodiment of intellect and influence during his time at Oxford University.
