Daisies on a bank

Daisies on a bank, a frontispiece illustration by John Vernon Lord in 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Artists' Choice Editions, 2009.

This illustration acts as a frontispiece in my version of Lewis Carroll's story. I took a photograph in our garden to represent a kind of 'reality' before Alice succumbs to sleep and to dream upon a bank full of daisies. 

The text:

CHAPTER I

Down the Rabbit-Hole

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the

bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped

into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or

conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice

'without pictures or conversation?'

 So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for

the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the

pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of

getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit

with pink eyes ran close by her.
