Some of Jan Svankmajer's illustrations for Carroll's Through the Looking Glass.

Despite filming Alice's adventures in Wonderland as Alice in 1988, and filming Jabberwocky as a short in 1971, Svankmajer never made a version of Through the Looking Glass, meaning these illustrations are about as close as we'll ever get to a looking glass adaptation from him.
