Trial in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), works of a very rich imagination mixing bestiary, nursery rhymes and children's games, refreshed the repertoire of fabulous fantasy creatures.
Arthur Rackham’s 1907 illustration of Alice’s trial in the Kingdom of Hearts renders all the richness of the scene well: side by side, one behind the other, to the point of saturating the image, one sees more or less anthropomorphic animals (the chamberlain rabbit, the members of the jury), animated playing cards, a royal couple that comes close to being satirical caricature and even, behind them in the tapestry, the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle who appeared earlier in the novel.
This same richness has allowed Lewis Carroll's work to remain a fertile source of inspiration that lends itself to numerous fantasy borrowings and reinventions.
