Dear All

I have an early photograph of a theatrical production from 1887 of Alice and Doormouse. I wonder if anyone might be able to give me any more information on this?

Thanks

This might be:

Or alternatively:

[Herbert Rose Barraud.]
[Published by Carson & Comerford, 1 April 1887.]
Photograph. Sheet 159 x 115mm. 6¼ x 4½".
Phoebe Carlo (active 1880s-1890s) as Alice and Dorothy d'Alcourt (active mid-late 1880s) as Dormouse.
They performed in Alice in Wonderland, as musical pantomime by Henry Saville Clark (1841-1893) and Walter Slaughter, with Lewis Carroll's permission. It opened at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 23 December 1886, and was a huge success for consecutive decades.

EDIT It appears to be the latter, Phoebe Carlo, according to this book here:

Which means it is of this production:

(All assuming that that is the picture you're referring to, of course )



EDIT AGAIN Oh teriffic, the link doesn't work. If you click the link then add "_(musical)" at the end of the address, that should get you there
