The stamps celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis Carroll’s classic book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Royal Mail commissioned illustrator Grahame Baker-Smith, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal and author of FArTHER, to illustrate ten key scenes from the book. Art-directed by Godfrey Design, Baker-Smith offers a fresh, lively interpretation of unforgettable characters such as the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and Alice herself, making the story come to life with new vivacity. I hope you like my two first day cover designs for this issue.
