With fantastic characters and enchanting language, Lewis Carroll created magical wonderlands children have always loved to visit. These 26 selections from his classic works have never lost their fascination. Open the covers of this beautifully illustrated collection and take a magical journey through selections from his classic works, including Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, The Hunting of the Snark, and Sylvie and Bruno. Humorous paintings by Eric Copeland gloriously depict both the beloved and fantastic characters—from the fearsome Jabberwock to the wacky Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

My wife loves Lewis Carroll. So this was a perfect gift. It's overall a really nice leather bound hardback.

商品番号0356105083-2742786015-1402754746の商品の３つが，本ページに混在して登録されている。煩雑さを避けるためにも，他のフリマサイトを通した購入が安牌かもしれない。

評者が購入したのは，オーヴェンデン編の原画集である。全８ページの序文に，25枚の原画が収められている。ヌードはない。

『写真家ルイス・キャロル』との重複も多少あるが，目新しい，つまり邦訳書では拝めない写真が主である。

1・3・4・17枚目の写真からは，キャロルの「眼を逸らす少女」の美学が窺い知れる。とりわけ3・17枚目の少女は美しい。9−12枚目はアリス・リデル。11枚目のミステリアスな写真が印象的。終盤は集合写真がつづく。20枚目は「眠り姫」の形容詞が相応しい。

もっとも, すべてが良い写真というわけではない。14・24枚目の少女には，どこか「老人性」を感じてしまう。

以下，キーワード。転載は差し支えない。

Good, but some of the really famous ones left out. Poems excellent but choice sometimes odd. Quite a few for teenagers and not below say 11.

Ouvrage intéressant

Reviewed in France on April 10, 2021

Concernant l’introduction de Colin Ford :
L’analyse de l’image et la mise en perspective de l’œuvre avec l’émergence de la photographie est interessante.

Cependant on pourra noter des inexactitudes au niveau de l’analyse de la vie de Dodgson, que l’on retrouve souvent dans les études qui lui sont consacrées. Mais l’ensemble est très correct et documenté « à la source » puisque de nombreuses citations du journal de l’auteur lui même sont présentes.

Concernant l’édition : Quelques coquilles qui auraient pu être corrigées (Owford pour Oxford par exemple)

La qualité d’impression est indéniable, la reproduction des photographies est parfaite. La sélection iconographie est judicieuse.

Je recommande aux amateurs de Lewis Carroll mais également à tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’histoire de la photographie, à l’art du XIX et à l’époque Victorienne.
