Sir John Tenniel original illustration from ”Through the Looking Glass”, the sequel to the enormously successful ”Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. This illustration appears on page 201 of the first edition of ”Looking Glass”, done to illustrate the text, ”She was standing before an arched doorway over which were the words QUEEN ALICE in large letters…” A presentation inscription by Tenniel is written to the lower margin, ”With Mr. Tenniel’s kind regards / Christmas 1876”. Pencil drawing was done sometime between 1869-1871 when Tenniel again collaborated with Lewis Carroll in illustrating his novel, an undertaking that Tenniel first rejected due to the time-consuming nature of the work: after drawing preliminary sketches, Tenniel would transfer the artwork onto woodblocks using tracing paper and then finish shading on the blocks. The Brothers Dalziel would then produce engravings from the blocks. Tenniel at first rejected Carroll’s offer to illustrate ”Looking Glass”, but ultimately relented as Carroll could find no other illustrator that matched Tenniel’s ”grotesque” interpretation of the fantasy creatures he envisioned. Drawing measures 3.25” x 4.5”, archivally matted and framed to 11.25” x 12.75”. Very light foxing to margins and light uniform toning, overall near fine condition. From the Bronson Winthrop collection of Tenniel drawings: Parke-Bernet sale of 12 March 1945, lot 164. Sold for $37,500.
Original Alice in Wonderland Art Illustration by Arthur Rackham of the Cheshire Cat, Drawn for Page 106 of “Alice in Wonderland” — With His Signature Mischievous Grin
Original and beguiling Alice in Wonderland art illustration of the Cheshire Cat from the 1907 edition of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” by noted British illustrator Arthur Rackham. Known as one of England’s “Golden Age” illustrators during the beginning of the 20th century, Rackham illustrated various whimsical scenes for this edition of the book. Illustration appears on p. 106 of the book, in the chapter entitled “The Queen’s Croquet Ground.” Drawn in pen, black ink and watercolor heightened with gum arabic and gouache paint for an opaque effect, illustration depicts the face of the unforgettable cheshire cat grinning widely in a dreamy smoke plume. Rackham signs his initials boldly “AR” at lower left. Drawing measures 8.5″ x 6″, with some later additions added by Rackham, and a glazing over the artwork for further protection. Near fine condition. Sold for $13,613.
Original Artwork for the Cover of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” — Illustration by Cliff Wright Depicts the Charming & Memorable Flying Car Scene
Original ink, pencil and watercolor artwork for the 1998 release of J.K. Rowling’s second book in the groundbreaking series, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” Illustration is by British artist Cliff Wright, whom J.K. Rowling tapped to illustrate most of her Harry Potter characters, including Hedwig the Owl and Harry Potter himself, both displayed here in this watercolor. Unsigned illustration, which appears on the book’s cover, depicts the memorable scene in the book when Ron Weasley steals his father’s Ford Anglia to escort Harry back to Hogwarts. Wright charmingly brings each character to life in the illustration – Potter is depicted in his signature glasses and red pullover, and Ron is depicted with flaming red hair and freckles. Both Harry and Ron are pictured grinning at their flying car feat, while Potter’s famed owl, Hedwig, is perched in the back seat. Illustration is mounted and framed to an overall size of 22.5″ x 19″, with two annotations written along top reading: “please return Aw [artwork] to: / (undamaged)” and “For: Harry Potter shop display / To: Rosamund Walker — Bloomsbury”. Bloomsbury then superimposed this illustration with a background landscape also done by Wright to create the finished cover design. Near fine. Recently sold for 12,500 GBP as lot 170 in Sotheby’s 10 July 2012 sale. Sold for $11,550.
