Blanche McManus (1869–1935) was an American writer and artist. She and her husband, wrote a series of illustrated travel books, many of which included information about automobiles which were new at the time. [wiki] She also illustrated both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. In this post we see her illustrations for the two books publishing in 1899. This was the first non-Tenniel illustrated version of the tale [1]. The illustrations are in three colours: red, black and green. There is another set of line drawings by Blanche which I will add later. And another set in which an unknown artist made full colour paintings from the line drawings.
The scans of books are available at University of Florida’s Digital Collections
I have also uploaded the cleaned images to Wikimedia commons in hi-res, search there if you want hi-res images.
