Description: Carroll, Lewis (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). Willy Pogány (Hungarian/American, 1882-1955). ORIGINAL PEN-AND-INK PORTRAITS OF THE MARCH HARE, MAD HATTER and DORMOUSE (From his illustrated 1929 Alice's Adventures In Wonderland published by E. P. Dutton). These marvelous drawings illustrate "The Mad Tea Party" chapter and grace pages 102 and 103. The images are both 4.75" x 3.5" situated in two corners of a large sheet of 11" by 14" heavy art paper. Pogány has printed his name in full on the March Hare drawing at the top right and initialed the Mad Hatter drawing at the lower left. His lightly penciled outline and notations can also be seen. The detail in the drawings is spectacular in comparison to the actual printed book (see published drawing for comparison). In a Victorian-Style frame with museum glass. Unique.
