Thank you for your kind words Gail, I appreciate you. I’ll come back soon enough, your feedback helps me take a step in that direction.
As for your book mystery, please share a few pics of it and it’s illustrations, and ill see if I know anything about it. Send it to: yonatan@collectingalice.com

I came across it while attempting to figure out the unnamed illustrator on 1920’s (?) edition of Alice I’ve spotted. I’m not seeing the answer in your blog, which is a mystery I want to solve! I’m going down a rabbit hole big time to learn more. I hope you are doing Ok. I saw your Instagram post about Israel. Thank you for creating this resource and take care. I hope you’ll be able to come back to it at some point.

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for commenting. I don’t think I have Simone Deleuil’s edition. I’m not sure, but by the looks of it just by the style, there’s a good chance it’s the same person. I do need to dig into it further though.

Is this the same as the Simonne Baudoin, etc. you have listed? If not, I could photo and attach hers to an email.

Hi Jonathan,
Thank you very much!
I’d love to see your tumblr. Slap a link here in the comments. I’m still amazed at the shear amount of
illustrative interpertations to Alice in Wonderland, there are hunderds already made, and new ones come out every year.
Thank you for your kind words, they definetly give me the energy needed to go back to it soon.
Yonatan

I’ve recently read these books and found how many illustrators they’ve had and, as an artist myself, found myself very interested in these interpretations. I was a bit miffed that there wasn’t some kind of repository for these things, I even made a Tumblr blog for this purpose (though I don’t have a collection of my own yet), but your blog is the closest thing and its wonderful. Thank you for sharing the art from your collection!

Thank you Dennis, much appreciated.
The Alice universe is so big and wide, and ever expending with new editions, and paraphrases.
You have your own unique creation in this space, which is amazing!
thank you for commenting, and best of luck to you!

I joined a few years ago and found it worthwhile. I too am a (minor) collector of Alice illustrators (part of a somewhat bigger collection of golden age children’s literature illustrators). I also have a small collection of “Alternative Alices,” which books do not parody but attempt to continue her adventures. (Yes, I have written my own version, which I illustrated by adapting Charles Robinson’s illustrations, including some of his Wonderland illustrations–have you seen
them–they are delicate and lovely!). Thanks for your work, I will enjoy it at my leisure, hopefully finding yet more illustrators of Alice to add to my list (if not my collection, much to the dismay of my wife!

Flatterer! As I say, I can copy, but cannot do anything out of my own head, sadly. Keep up the good work please!

Thank you David! I appreciate your kind words, and they do energize me to keep at it.
It sometimes feels like im the only one here, and getting feedback from people like you, make it all worth while.
I checked out your blog, interesting and impressive works, you’re very talented!

I’ve been fascinated by the Alice books since I learned to read. I’m an amateur sketcher. In recent years I have struggled with my mental health. I’ve found that drawing has helped me a great deal. I have no great talent – I have a dreadfully weak visual memory, but I can copy. Last year I began copying some of my favourite John Tenniel illustrations from the books. This led me to find out about other great artists who have illustrated the books over the years, and to try to copy some of their works as well. Recently I challenged myself to ‘fill in the gaps’ and copy all of the 92 Tenniel illustrations of the 2 books. Thank you for your blog, and please do keep it up, even if you only end up posting now and again.

Thank you Hollie! I like your website 🙂
I collect the books, with an emphasis on the odd illustrators. There are hunderds out there,
and new ones every year. What sparked your interest in Alice?
