%X Sa£¿etak Victorian representations of childhood are found in a wide variety of cultural texts, from literary descriptions to visual images. Alice¡¯s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865) is no different in this sense. However, Alice¡¯s character is one of the first of its kind to behave as a cross-media figure, thus becoming a fantasy literature heroine as well as a popular cultural icon. This paper focuses on Alice¡¯s artistic representations in three forms: (a) Lewis Carroll¡¯s verbal art; (b) the photographic prints of the ¡°real¡± Alice Liddell taken in 1858 and 1872 by Carroll and Julia Margaret Cameron respectively; and (c) the visual illustrations by Carroll and by John Tenniel (1864 and 1865, respectively). The aim of the paper is to discuss whether Alice was ever a ¡°real¡± Victorian girl, by examining her multiple representations in the given corpus. It also aims at analysing Alice¡¯s visual characteristics in order to reveal Alice as a visual concept of her times
