Alice Liddell and Sisters on the Great Orme, Llandudno

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:42:00 +0000

Did you know? In the summer of 1864, Alice Liddell (Lewis Carroll’s inspiration for Alice in Wonderland) and her two sisters, Lorina (who inspired the Lory) and Edith (who inspired the Eaglet), posed for up to 10 hours a day while the distinguished English artist, Sir William Blake Richmond, created one of his most famous paintings, called “The Sisters.” The painting of the three Liddell sisters is set against the background of the Great Orme, Llandudno’s famous mountain. Alice was by then aged 12.

The picture was painted in one of the rooms at the back of the house and the background added later from a view from one of the windows. The three sisters were Edith on the left, Lorina in the centre and Alice on the right.

Liz and Keith Wright, Chairman and Editor of The Daresbury Chronicle visited Alice in Wonderland Ltd in Llandudno.

Directors Barry,Simon and Eileen discussed their vision for Llandudno and of course the link the town has with the Liddell Family and in particular Alice Liddell, the girl behind the inspiration of the book Alice’s Adventures Underground.

I was particularly interested to learn of the two rocks on the West Shore in Llandudno that supposedly inspired the Walrus and the Carpenter. We will be seeing more of Liz and Keith who will be joining us on Alice Day, Friday 4th of May 2012 in Llandudno.
