Dorothea Tanning in Wonderlands

"Tanning‟s lithograph album Les 7 périls spectraux (1950) depicts just such a breakdown. Though these Seven Perils do not explicitly relate to the Alice narrative, they might still be interpreted in Carrollian terms. This is most especially the case with the Premier Peril [Fig.12] in which we see an Alice-like figure approaching a book-door, driven, one assumes, by her epistemophilic curiosity to feel her way into knowledge."
