• Unknown illustrations by Salvador Dali to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" - a fairy tale, written by the English mathematician Lewis Carroll in the XIX century, which to this day remains a living symbol of creativity and imagination. Therefore there is nothing surprising in the fact that many artists have included Carroll images in their work. However, you must be surprised to know that one of these artists was the surrealist Salvador Dali.
