1872 Alice Behind Carroll Dumpty Ends Humpty Meet Mouth Shake Thought Smiled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a whimsical world of wonder and curiosity, Alice, the intrepid young heroine, found herself in the most peculiar of conversations with Humpty Dumpty, the enigmatic egg-like character, in Lewis Carroll's timeless tale, "Through the Looking Glass," published in 1872. In this moment, Alice ponders the implications of Humpty's perpetual smile, musing that "if he smiled much more, the ends of his mouth might meet behind." This image, brought to life by the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the historical context of the late 19th century, where the written word and the power of imagination reigned supreme. Alice, dressed in her iconic blue and white dress, reaches out to touch Humpty's hand, seeking to bridge the gap between their two worlds. The glass table between them, a symbol of the boundary between reality and fantasy, adds an intriguing layer of depth to the scene. Carroll's masterful use of language and storytelling continues to captivate readers and inspire artists, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of Alice's adventures. This photograph, with its intricate details and rich history, offers a glimpse into the world of "Through the Looking Glass," inviting us to join Alice in her fantastical journey and to ponder the mysteries of a world where the impossible becomes possible. The Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images, offers a vast collection of rare and unique photographs, prints, and illustrations, providing researchers, educators, and enthusiasts with invaluable resources for exploring the past and bringing history to life.
