My constant study.
Sidenote:
in 1995 the Euro was still the ECU
and 1,000 Italian lire were about one Deutsche Mark
(which became about half a Euro).#Alice

John Tenniel is famous for illustrating Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass.
Here is his darker depiction of a view through the looking-glass, revealing a seamstress who died doing round the clock overtime to meet the demands of the high-society Season.
One wonders what Tenniel would have made of modern fast fashion.

I found this In Our Time episode on Lewis Carroll's Alice books strangely moving. The guests' enthusiasm for the subject has had me itching to dive back into the Annotated Alice.

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to author Jenn Thorson about the classic children’s story, Alice in Wonderland.
We discuss the history of the Alice in Wonderland books and the impact they've had on our culture. It's a fascinating conversation about the nature of writing with a “dream-like” quality.
