Art

Charming original artwork for the first edition of this parody of Lewis Carroll's Alice books by F. W. Martindale, first published 1914. Pen and ink, watercolour and body-colour painting on card, matted. Signed by maritime artist Frank Mason and by Noel Pocock. A fine collaboration between the two artists: Mason was responsible for the sea and landscapes, Pocock for the figures. Colour photocopies of the same artwork and of the text it illustrated from the first edition on the back of the frame. Original watercolour. Size: 33.5 x 25.5 cm. (13 x 10 inches)
