This oversized, unabridged edition showcases illustrations from pre-1930 editions of the Victorian fantasy. The artists include John Tenniel, Arthur Rackham, Margaret Tarrant, and Charles Robinson. Black-and-white drawings and color paintings range from spot art to full-page bleeds, but the pictures lack identifying labels. Overall, the volume has a cohesive artistic look, despite the many individual interpretations.
