This heliogravure by Salvador Dali is titled The Queen’s Croquet Ground and comes from his Alice in Wonderland series from 1969. Dali was one of the premier surrealists in the world, and there was no better pairing for the avant-garde master of Surrelaism than the fantasy land created by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Luckily, an editor at Random House saw the connection and commissioned Dalí to illustrate a limited edition of the classic in 1969. Dalí created twelve heliogravures for the occasion—one illustration for each chapter—as well as a four-color etching as the frontispiece. Only 2,700 of the edition were printed, and the artist signed each original etching. The heliogravure comes with a beautifully engraved passage about Alice and the Queen and the Rabbit engaging in croquet as well. The bottom edge is deckled, it is signed by Dali in the lower right margin, and it is listed as #529 in Prestel’s Dali, Catalogue Raisonne of Etchings and Mixed-Media Prints 1924 - 1980, Vol 1.
