Visions of Alice: Adventures in Illustration

02/03/16 • 32 min

In its 150th anniversary year, the story of Alice and her adventures remains relevant and yet of its time.

Grahame Baker-Smith, illustrator of the Royal Mail’s Alice in Wonderland anniversary stamps, Gillian Beer, author of the forthcoming Alice in Space, and Helen Melody, curator of the British Library’s current Alice exhibition, reflect on the many visual interpretations of the character through the years.

Chaired by Nicolette Jones.
