Alice Falling Down the Rabbit-Hole Postcard. Illustration from The Children's Encyclopaedia published in the 1920s. Includes a quote from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. "A white rabbit with pink eyes hurried past Alice, remarking, as he drew his watch from his waistcoatpocket, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" This aroused the curiosity of the little girl. It was an odd thing to see a rabbit with a waistcoat and a watch! So she ran after him, and, without thinking, pursued him into the rabbit-hole. But he kept ahead, and presently she found herself falling down a great well or pit, which seemed to go right down to the middle of the earth, and had queer cupboards and furniture all the way down. What happened when she and the rabbit got to the bottom we shall learn in good time."
