Alice au pays des merveilles (1949)

(Alice in Wonderland)

Illustrations by Adrienne Ségur

The deluxe presentation of Ségur's illustrations to Alice au pays des merveilles

by the French publishing house of Ernest Flammarion is an absolute delight.

Ségur's images are wonderfully delightful in any setting, but appearing in the

1949 edition, they are produced in an unusually large format that is absolutely

sublime.

Stylistically, the suite prepared by Ségur for Alice au pays des merveilles was a radical departure from the simpler illustrations

she had contributed to publications previously and it was through this shift that she continued to develop a strong

idiosyncratic approach to fantasy illustrations.
