Painting Description
"The Gardeners Painting the Roses Red" is a notable illustration from the classic children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898). This particular illustration was produced for an edition published by Éditions Delagrave in Paris in 1935. The artwork was created by the French illustrator André Pecoud, who was active during the early 20th century and known for his contributions to children's literature and fashion publications.
Pecoud's illustration captures a whimsical and iconic scene from Carroll's tale, where Alice stumbles upon three gardeners in the shape of playing cards. These gardeners are frantically painting white roses red to please the temperamental Queen of Hearts and avoid punishment. The image is rich in detail and reflects the absurdity and surreal nature of Wonderland, a hallmark of Carroll's work. Pecoud's artistic style in this illustration blends elements of fantasy with the elegance and precision characteristic of Art Deco illustrations of the time.
The 1935 Éditions Delagrave version of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is one of the many reiterations of the story that have been published since its original release in 1865. Each new edition often features different artists who bring their unique interpretations to the beloved characters and scenes. Pecoud's contributions to this particular edition add to the rich visual history of "Alice in Wonderland," showcasing how illustrators can influence the reception and interpretation of literary classics across different cultures and time periods.
