1. Front Cover

In 1969, a print run of Alice In Wonderland was released featuring the surreal illustrations of Salvador Dali. The book contained twelve heliogravures according to Brain Pickings, one for each chapter.

A heliogravure is one of the oldest ways to reproduced photographic images, involving an expensive, time-consuming process. You can read all about it over here. The decision to use this technique helped emphasize the lush colors Dali favored.

Only the cover of the was different, a sketched etching in muted tones.

Thanks to the William Bennett Gallery for preserving Dali's work in digital form!
