EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard print captures the whimsical and surreal atmosphere of "The Queen's Croquet Ground" after John Tenniel, dating back to 1907. In this peculiar scene, we find a group of eccentric characters gathered around a croquet game. The queen, adorned in her regal robe and majestic crown, takes center stage as she points assertively with an axe at a mischievous rabbit who seems to have disrupted the game. Surrounded by men and women dressed in elaborate clothing and headgear, the queen exudes authority while sporting a frowning expression that hints at her anger. A strange assortment of animals including a Cheshire cat and domestic cat observe the unfolding argument between the queen and the white rabbit. The image is rich in detail, showcasing fine art techniques that bring out each character's unique facial expressions. The executioner stands nearby holding his axe while guests engage in animated conversation amidst this unusual gathering. Drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" this visual masterpiece transports us into an imaginative world where playing cards come to life under British period influences. It serves as both an artistic representation of literary arts and an intriguing glimpse into Western European culture during that era. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this postcard print offers viewers a delightful journey through time – capturing not only historical elements but also evoking curiosity about these fictional characters' stories beyond what meets the eye.
