  • The fact that no-ones stopped by to review these two probably reflects the response you'd get at FPC, sad to say. As originals they're were probably too small and lacking in detail to make them truly exceptional examples of their type, even though technically-speaking there's nothing wrong with their reproduction here. Bottom line, this sort of subject is always hard to "sell" at FPC because it needs something really compelling and encyclopedic to commend it. This recent successful nomination shows how it needs to be: a complete set of very detailed images, overseen by Carroll himself, all illustrating scenes (as well as characters) from Alice. Anything less would likely not have passed. --mikaultalk 02:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
