Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the combination of the text of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” with various of its illustrations. The illustrations are seen as a model for interpreting the book – they add new nuances to the understanding of the text, which enrich the possibilities for interpretation. The illustrations of John Tenniel (1865), Arthur Rackham (1907), Salvador Dali (1969), Barry Moser (1982) and Benjamin Lacombe (2010) are examined. The paper explores the issue of self-knowledge and choice of identity.
