Milo Winter (1888-1956), Was an American book illustrator. His Alice in Wonderland was first published in 1916, this review presents the 1936 later edition. I promise that once I’ll get my hands on the 1st edition, I’ll add it to this blog. Unfortunately some of the illustrations in the earlier publication, are missing from this one. I’ll add any missing Milo Winter Alice illustrations soon.
As my non-existent readers know, I like to place a picture / self portrait of the illustrator, whenever I can find one. I can’t seem to find a picture / image of Milo Winter himself. If you’re of the Winter family, know what he looked like, and can describe him to a forensic sketch artist, please make yourself known.
Milo Winter’s Alice, is very Art Nouveau, wouldn’t you agree?
Milo illustrates Alice as somewhat older than a 7 year old. She seems reflective, with soft features, elongated, with a stylish ribbon in her hair.

The same illustration on Alice seeing the White rabbit, is on the book’s hardcover
This image appear on the inside of the front and back hardcover
I have an unbased suspicion this was not made by Winter, as its not really in his style of work. 
Across the title page we have an illustration of the Mad Tea Party

Here’s Alice going after the white rabbit
A few black and white illustration are spread throughout the book. I’ll feature all of them. This one is of Alice getting small, but forgetting that key on the table. What will she do?

I have the 1938 copy of “Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass”. Are the illustrations more valuable than the book?
Hi,
Is your book with Milo Winter’s illustrations? In any case, I would never recommend to separate illustrations from a book, unless it’s in a horrid condition (left outside to rot for ten winters, and then half eaten by a bear), only in such a case would the Gods be ok with such a suggestion, otherwise, a serious collector would go for only a complete book with all the illustrations
