She has short dark hair and dark eyes and wears a lace-trimmed dress and a serious expression. She bears little resemblance to the ubiquitous Tenniel illustrations, but she is the first, the original, Alice. On a boat trip near Oxford in , Wonderland was spun out of summer air for her and her sisters.
