Some Wonderlands are more inviting than others. One Wonderland I would not want to step into is Hugh Gee’s Wonderland. With its cross medium techniques, mixing real life photography, with scaled cut outs, puppets, it looks to me a bit odd.
As it happens, on many of these posts, I can’t find anything about the artist, Hugh Gee. On a side note, feel free to skip the following rant – thanks for nothing, Internet. You overrated beast. Where’s the plethora of knowledge you were supposed to carry?
I do have an un-based guess, that the Uncle Gee, described as teaching children to make puppets from odd materials, mentioned in this article about a UK children show from the 1960’s, ‘Afternoon Club’, is our Hugh Gee. Its just a guess though.
This book was first published by Max Parrish & Co. LTD, London in 1948. My copy is a 3rd edition from 1951. It does include Tenniel’s illustrations, but I’ll focus on Gee’s ones.
Let’s dive into the book
Hard cover. Alice and the Rabbit
Inside hard cover. I usually don’t like to include Tenniel’s illustrations, in posts dedicated to other artists, but this particular one is rather charming, and makes an interesting scene in a collage, that I wonder if Hugh Gee made himself.
