The artwork titled “What day of the month is it – he said turning to Alice” was created by Charles Robinson in 1907. This illustration is part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is a work from the genre of illustration. It is featured in the series “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, published in 1907.
In this vivid and colorful illustration, Alice is depicted attending a whimsical tea party set amidst a lush garden. The focus is on three characters: a young girl, Alice, positioned on the right, gazing attentively at the two peculiar figures across the table. The central figure, dressed in a quirky outfit with an exaggerated red bow tie and a top hat adorned with a large price tag, appears to be engaged in a conversation, possibly the mad hatter from the story. Next to him stands another character, the March Hare, characterized by its giant rabbit-like head and somewhat bewildered expression. The tea setting is elegant, with delicately patterned teapots and cups arranged on the table, exuding the charm and eccentricity that embody the fantastical world of Wonderland.
