Título: Alice illustrated: 120 images from the classic tales of Lewis Carroll
Autor: Jeff A. Menges
Editora Dover, 128p.
Sinopse: Few books of the past 200
years have captured the imagination of illustrators as Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland has. The original edition of Lewis Carroll’s 1865 masterpiece
featured 42 woodblock engravings by John Tenniel. Created in close
collaboration with the author, Tenniel’s visions of the young heroine and her
extraordinary encounters were but the first of many interpretations of
Wonderland. This compilation explores a century and a half of exuberant,
imaginative artistic conceptions of Alice’s world.
More than 100 images include Tenniel’s
engravings, along with color and black-and-white illustrations by Arthur
Rackham, Charles Robinson, Bessie Pease Gutmann, Margaret Tarrant, Millicent
Sowerby, Milo Winter, Thomas Maybank, and many others. Editor Jeff Menges
offers commentary on the illustrators and their work, and noted collector Mark
Burstein shares a bibliophile’s perspective. A major contribution to the
history of modern book illustration, Alice Illustrated will delight lovers of
English literature and children’s books, collectors of Lewis Carroll’s works,
and fans of the great illustrators.
Mais um livro com artes de vários
ilustradores do clássico de Lewis Carroll. Cada capítulo fala de um artista, o
que eu achei ótimo, porque assim dá para conhecer o processo artístico de cada
um. Não são muitos artistas, mas sobre uma história cujo ilustrador oficial se
fala mais do que qualquer outro, eu achei ótimo incluírem Sir John Tenniel
nele. Mais uma preciosidade para a minha estante.
