Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), an English author, mathematician, and logician. He is best known for his iconic works Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. Carroll's writing is celebrated for its clever wordplay, fantastical themes, and innovative use of logic and nonsense. Beyond literature, he was also a pioneer in early photography and a respected academic at Oxford University.
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist known for his eccentric personality and dreamlike, often bizarre imagery. With a unique style marked by melting clocks, distorted figures, and surreal landscapes, Dali became one of the most iconic figures of 20th-century art. His contributions spanned painting, sculpture, film, and even fashion. In 1969, Dali illustrated a limited edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, bringing his surrealist vision to Lewis Carroll's timeless classic.
