Where did the image of "Alice" come from?
Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" is a cultural phenomenon. The first volume, Alice in Wonderland, was officially published in 1866 and has never been out of print, having been translated into more than 170 languages.
Carroll's wealth of characters, words and images has been inspiring creativity in fashion, film, visual arts, design, photography, theatre and new technologies around the world, and has long been part of our shared imagination.
