The sheep is knitting in the shop here with the suggestion of the top of a pawn’s head of Alice at the bottom of the picture with a bulrush anticipating what happens next when she is later rowed down a river by Alice.
Above the sheep’s head you may see the infamous duck-house, which some greedy MP claimed on his expenses.
Many other symbols are placed on the shelves.
More shaking Red Queen and Black Cat pictures on the top right and below those is the scene in the railway carriage where the occupants are holding huge train tickets.
It says in the text that the tickets were ‘the same size as the people’ and they ‘quite filled the carriage’, something that Tenniel, the original illustrator, seemed to ignore in his well-known illustration of the scene. |
