Opening Pages

Chapters:

-Broken by large black-and-white illustrations

-Large text titles each chapter with numbers that indicate the chapter number

Illustrations themselves:

-Cross-hatching

-Modern, more imaginative illustration techniques

**Interesting: Both this version and the Rackham version use spiralling text to indicate that Alice is falling down the rabbit hole

Experience of Reading:

-Because of the unique illustrations and unpredictable sums of text on each page a degree of newness was associated with reading each page of this version.

–>While some pages would contain large sums of texts, others would contain short paragraphs and smaller sums of texts

–>Some pages would have wider paragraphs, while others would have rectangular shapes of text
