The journey began at Folly Bridge, Oxford, and ended 5 miles (8.0km) away in Godstow, Oxfordshire. During the trip Carroll told the girls a story that he described in his diary as "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" and which his journal says he "undertook to write out for Alice". [9] Alice Liddell recalled that she asked Carroll to write it down: unlike other stories he had told her, this one she wanted to preserve. [10] She finally received the manuscript more than two years later. [11] Harry Rountree, published by Nelson in 1908. There was also a new edition published by Collins in 1928 with new illustrations by Rountree. Kusama’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a breathtaking piece of visual philosophy to complement Carroll’s timeless vision. See more of it, including a short trailer, here.

On 8th April 1865, Tenniel was working on the 30th picture. By then, Carroll was still working on the final text for publication. Carroll sent the galley proofs for all the text to Tenniel on May 1865, so he could complete the illustrations. In the end, forty-two illustrations were completed – twice as many as Carroll initially anticipated. ( Jones and Gladstone 253-255 and Jaques and Gidders) Forrest Reid, Illustrators of the Eighteen Sixties: An Illustrated Survey of the Work of 58 British Artists, New York: Dover Publications, 1975 The influence Tenniel had on Carroll is illustrated by the fact that Carroll recalled the first edition of his book, only because Tenniel expressed dissatisfaction about the quality of the printing of the pictures. Also, Carroll dropped an entire chapter from his book on Tenniel’s suggestion. Despite the original stories' reliance on wordplay, puns, and nonsense, Alice has become such an icon that she is often used as a touchstone even within primarily visual media. When Christopher Wheeldon first suggested a ballet version, his designer Bob Crowley reportedly thought he was "completely insane" to make a wordless Wonderland. But the Royal Ballet's 2011 show was a huge hit – not least because of Crowley's designs, which combined familiar Alice shorthands with classical tutus and cutting-edge stagecraft, from op-art projections to a multi-part Cheshire cat puppet. The Queen of Hearts stepped out of an intimidatingly huge crinoline-cum-throne-cum-tank, to dance a parody of a sequence from the ballet Sleeping Beauty: both very Lewis Carroll, and very ballet.

Blake’s work often includes elements of collage, and his contributions to the cover art of musicians like the Beatles, The Who, and Band Aid have contributed to his reputation as The Godfather of British Pop Art. In 1970, Blake presented the world with his interpretation of yet another British cultural classic: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, Carroll’s 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Carroll first met Alexander Macmillan, a high-powered London publisher, on 19 October 1863. [11] His firm, Macmillan Publishers, agreed to publish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by sometime in 1864. [67] Carroll financed the initial print run, possibly because it gave him more editorial authority than other financing methods. [67] He managed publication details such as typesetting and engaged illustrators and translators. [68]
