"Alice and the Mouse Swimming in the Pool of Tears" is a notable illustration from the 1935 French edition of Lewis Carroll's classic children's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published by Editions Delagrave in Paris. This particular artwork was created by the illustrator Pecoud, whose visual interpretation of the story contributed to the rich artistic legacy of Carroll's work. The illustration captures a moment from the second chapter of the book, where Alice, having grown to a gigantic size and then shrunk to a very small stature, finds herself swimming in a pool of her own tears alongside a group of animals, including a mouse.

Pecoud's illustration is emblematic of the 1930s European artistic sensibilities, blending elements of Art Deco with the whimsical and fantastical themes of the narrative. The image is significant for its contribution to the visual culture surrounding "Alice in Wonderland," a novel that has inspired countless artists to reimagine its characters and scenes since its original publication in 1865. The 1935 Delagrave edition, with Pecoud's illustrations, is one of the many interpretations that have helped to keep the story of Alice alive in the public imagination through visual art.

The illustration not only serves as a visual accompaniment to Carroll's text but also offers a unique perspective on the characters and setting, reflecting the historical and cultural context of the time. Pecoud's work is part of a larger tradition of "Alice" illustrations, which includes famous artists such as John Tenniel, the original illustrator of the novel, and later artists like Arthur Rackham and Salvador Dalí, each bringing their own distinctive style to the tale.

As a piece of literary and artistic history, "Alice and the Mouse Swimming in the Pool of Tears" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of "Alice in Wonderland" and the creative inspiration it has provided to artists over the years. The illustration is not only a representation of a specific moment within the narrative but also an artifact that reflects the broader cultural and artistic movements of its time.
