[Michlib-l] Celebrate 150 years of Alice illustration on Monday, September 21, 4-5:30 pm, Hatcher Graduate Library, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

[Jo Angela Oehrli]

Please join co-curators Juli McLoone and Jo Angela Oehrli as we celebrate
150 years of artistic exploration of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland with both a
semester-long exhibit
<http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/curiouser-and-curiouser> and a lecture
<http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/exploring-wonderland> on Monday, September
21, 4:00-5:30 p.m in Hatcher Gallery.

*Alice's Adventures in Wonderland *and *Through the Looking-Glass and What
Alice Found There* had a profound effect on the history of book
illustration. Carroll's masterpieces became some of the most known,
respected, republished, analyzed, parodied, abridged, appropriated, and
adapted works of literature in the world, and countless artists have been
drawn to the complexities of the text. Learn more about the artistic,
textual, and cultural history of Alice illustration from Arnold Hirshon
<http://www.alice150.com/speaker/arnold-hirschon/>, avid Carroll collector
and Associate Provost and University Librarian at Case Western Reserve
University. Refreshments will include tea & coffee, accompanied by cupcakes
(don't worry - they won't make you grow!).

The 7th floor exhibit space will be open both prior to the event and from
5:30-6 where you can visit the exhibit "Curiouser and Curiouser": Exploring
Wonderland with Alice
<http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/curiouser-and-curiouser>. This exhibit
includes a copy of the 1865 first edition as well as diverse 20th and 21st
century materials inspired by Alice and her curiosity.  Attendees are
encouraged to walk upstairs before and/or after the 9/21 event to enjoy the
exhibit.

All are welcome!

Angie
