Alice - before and after

I thought I'd put these up - just for interest. I'm always saying that we do a lot of work even on the imagery that we use from other artists. So here is Rackham's Alice (scanned from a turn of the last century book) before and after being cleaned and adjusted for fabric prints:

Alice in Wonderland, the Shower of Cards.

Alice in Wonderland, the Shower of Cards, digital restoration.


Arguably, I think we have sometimes overdone this in the past - in a way it's nice to leave a little of the "age" and fading showing.This print will be used on shoulder bags, tarot bags and messengers (when we make side panels that fit). I'm pleased with this - it's an image I've loved for years.
