This is a delightful antique color plate from a scarce edition of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, published by Frederick Stokes circa 1904. Illustrated by M.L. (Maria) Kirk, the plate being offered here illustrates the following excerpt:
'I can't stand this any longer!' she cried as she jumped up and seized the table-cloth with both hands: one good pull, and plates, dishes, guests, and candles came crashing down together in a heap on the floor.'And as for you,' she went on, turning fiercly upon the Red Queen, who she considered as the cause of all the mischief -- but the Queen was no longer at her side -- she had suddenly dwindled down to the size of a little doll, and was now on the table, merrily running round and round after her own shawl, which was trailing behind her.
Page size is approximately 5.5" x 8". Image size is approximately 4.5" x 6.5". Printed on cream color paper-weight stock. No text, no caption. Reverse side is blank. Very good condition. Colors are richer and more vibrant than portrayed in above photo.
Ready to matte and frame. Lovely for a child's room.
