Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Tapestry Cosmetic Bag

‘”Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. “I’ve had nothing yet”, Alice replied in an offended tone, “so I can’t take more”. ” You mean you can’t take less”, said the Hatter. “It’s very easy to take more than nothing” “Nobody asked your opinion” said Alice. “Who’s making personal remarks now”? the Hatter asked triumphantly’. This purse is based on the beautiful illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. Sir John Tenniel was the artist who agreed to illustrate the revised and expanded text which was now called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which was published in July was subsequently withdrawn. The illustrator was displeased at the poor quality of printing, which did not do justice to his illustrations. All but about 15 copies were successfully recalled and presumed destroyed. A new edition was published in November 1865 (but dated 1866).
