Alice in Wonderland Statue

Alice in Wonderland

The work of the Spanish born, French trained sculptor Jose de Creeft (1900-1982). Publisher and philanthropist George Delacorte (1893-1991) commissioned the sculpture as a tribute to his late wife Margarita, who often read Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to their children. It was given by Delacorte Family as a gift to the children of New York City.

Alice’s statue is one of the favorites and loved by children, you will see them climbing or hiding at the base of the statue.

Alice in Wonderland and some of the characters at Central Park:
Alice, The Mad Hatter (It's said to be the Caricature of George Delacorte himself), The March Hare, The Cheshire Cat, Alice’s Cat Dinah, The Caterpillar, Bill The Lizard, and The Dormouse.

It is favored by children who enjoy climbing on it, which was contemplated in its design.[26] At the base of the statue, among other inscriptions, is a line from Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky"(7)
