Скачать или смотреть 06 Widener’s Lost Wonderland: An Open Letter to the Current Owner (Matthew Demakos, LCSNA)

There are several lost items related to Lewis Carroll that would be as thrill to find, his lost diaries, for example. But there is one that gets little press, namely, a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that once belonged to Joseph E. Widener. It contained forty of Tenniel’s drawings (likely tracings), and several letters regarding the book from Carroll and Tenniel, amongst other things. Will the owner come forward?

Matthew Demakos has been writing about the life and works of Lewis Carroll for over twenty years. His papers include "Hiawatha Annotating," an in-depth look into Carroll's poem, "Hiawatha's Photographing"; "Alice's Adventures from Under Ground to Wonderland," an exploration into the differences between the two works; "Children through the Ages," a study into the true ages of Carroll's so-called "child-friends"; and "The Authentic Wasp," a look into the authorship of "The Wasp in a Wig" episode. His recent focus is on the works of John Tenniel.
