These are some images from an old copy of 'Songs From Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass' that had belonged to my mother when she was a girl.

Lewis Carroll's verse was set to music by English folk-song historian Lucy Etheldred Broadwood.











Some notes on British illustrator Charles James Folkard (1878 – 1963):

"He worked for some time as a conjuror after attending a show at the
‘Egyptian Hall’ in London. He was a prolific illustrator of children’s books as he started in his teenage years and continued through to his late 70’s.

"He was responsible for a cartoon character, Teddy Tail, which ran in the Daily Mail newspapers for many decades and was loved by its readers.

"He is well known for his work on the ‘Arabian Nights’ Grimm’s Fairy Tales, The Jackdaw of Rheims, Aesop’s Fables and Pinocchio."
