Alice Illustrated Around the World

Alice Through the Looking-Glass.

Illustrated by Peter Blake.

London & New York: Merrell, 2006.

In the early seventies Blake created a set of eight meditative Looking-Glass watercolors, which were planned to complement Wonderland illustrations by Graham Ovenden. These plans fell through, as Ovenden’s illustrations were never published in book form. Blake’s illustrations were left unpublished for some 30 years.

Blake is probably best known for co-creating the sleeve design for the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
