for more Alice fun look here and here. And for all of the Rackham, visit here. And for all the Tenniel, visit here.
Even more fun can be had here and here and here.
Becky's thoughts (random at best): In my review of Alice in Wonderland I said Tenniel was the best. And I mean it. Mostly. But I love. Read that LOVE. Or even love, love, love looking at Alice illustrations as art. It's just when it comes to reading the book in itself, the pictures in the margins I want to see are Tenniels. But I do appreciate the imaginative and creative genius of other artists.

Much as I like the 19th century flavor of Tenniel and others, I have to admit I turned into a great big Oxenbury fan the moment I saw her rendition. I'm going to look into the Zwerger edition, though -- I'm crazy about some of her other work.
Sarah, I haven't seen the Oxenbury book in person. But I was drawn to that illustration. I'll have to look for it in the future. :)
You don't have my favorite :( I love Arthur Rackham's illustrations for Alice I also recently read it illustrated by Ralph Steadman and those were really cool too! You should check them out!
Chris, I looked for the Rackham when I was originally posting, but apparently didn't look hard enough. I'll *edit* the original post and share the link here.
Rackham Alice Illustrations
I love the second one you posted--Marjorie Torrey. Although, my very own copy, given to me on my 9th birthday is illustrated by John Tenniel and those are the ones I always associate with Alice!

Only Tenniel. Ever.
I've always loved the Tenniel illustrations, probably since those were in the first edition my father read to us as kids. But I appreciate the Zwerger because she is one of the only ones who depicts Alice with dark hair, which it was in the story. Why do so many show her as a blond? She wasn't blond.
The Tenniel is the black and white one? I like the one three above that one, with a lot of gold/beige in it and a lot going on above Alice.
I like the Majorie Torrey one and the Jessie Wilcox Smith ones best. I can't get my head round Alice with brown hair!
I really like the Arthur Rackham, Angel Dominguez and John Tenniel ones best out of the pictures above. Such a great range of different types of Alice, very cool.
How Gorgeous to see these different Alices!
Thanks! Kyra
