Alice in Motorland by Horace M. Wyatt. Illustrated by Charles R. Sykes.
Published in 1904, by The Car-Illustrated Ltd: ‘The Car Magazine Series No. 1’. Hardback, clothbound boards.
Introducing such characters as The Marks Hare, The Mad Chaffa and the Suburban Dog; along with old friends like the White Knight and Rabbit.
1904 seems very early to be writing Alice adventures featuring motor cars: she’s obviously a modern girl. She looks very ‘Railway Children’ in her ribboned bonnet on the front cover.
Charles Sykes (1875-1950) was a British artist and sculptor who was responsible for the Spirit of Ecstasy- the Rolls Royce winged mascot.
Horace Wyatt was also responsible for Malice in Kulturland.
