First Maggie Taylor-illustrated edition. A lavish, surreal, and distinctive interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice illustrated from photographs by Maggie Taylor. Using 19^th century photography (daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes), as well as scanned images of insects, dolls, flora, and fauna, and digitally manipulating them to generate wonderfully dream-like imagery, Taylor has created a wondrous vision of Carroll’s masterpiece.
