Illustrations for Alice in Wonderland – Part 4 – Brinsley Le Fanu

The present post is from a rather peculiar version of Alice’s Adventures translated to Esperanto. The book was published in 1910 by the British Esperanto Association and the translation to Esperanto was done by E. L. Kearney. The illustrations about 10 are by Brinsley Le Fanu (by kind permission of the publisher of Stead’s Prose Classics). So perhaps there is another version with more illustrations by Le Fanu, but I was not able to locate it as such.
