EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print captures a whimsical scene from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Inspired by John Tenniel's iconic illustrations, the image depicts Alice and the Duchess engaged in a game of croquet. The fine art quality of this print brings out every intricate detail, from the grotesque facial expressions to the elaborate clothing worn by these fictional characters. The vibrant colors and meticulous imaging transport us back to early 20th-century England, where British period styles were all the rage. The girls' dresses are beautifully depicted, showcasing the fashion trends of that era. Alice and her competitor, the Duchess, both wear headdresses that add an extra touch of elegance to their attire. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but notice their smiling faces and animated gestures. These visual cues hint at a playful rivalry between two strong-willed women engaging in a friendly competition. Flamingos stand tall as part of the croquet set-up, adding an element of surprise to this peculiar game. Their presence adds another layer of eccentricity to Wonderland's already fantastical atmosphere. Whether you're an admirer of literary arts or simply appreciate fine art prints with historical significance, this postcard is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a delightful reminder that even within imaginary worlds like Wonderland, people from different periods and cultures can find common ground through shared experiences such as games and laughter.
