Grandville’s most important book; an extraordinary imaginative tour de force; an inspirational fantasy which undoubtedly had an influence well into the twentieth century. That influence can be seen in Tenniel’s illustration to Alice; Max Ernst and the Surrealists as well as the likes of Ralph Steadman and Gerald Scarfe.
