Google Answers: Lewis Carroll's photography and writing copyright (ie. Alice in Wonderland) Hello alice06 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has a great reference page for determining. Lewis Carroll published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, and the book has long since lapsed into the public domain, which means that anyone is free to make a movie or any other creative work based on it. However, the Disney films Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Alice in Wonderland (2010) are both under copyright protection, which means that no one is permitted to make copies of, distribute, or publicly display these films, as well as their artwork and music, without Disney's.
Fred 'Nall' Hollis' most significant art series, 'Alice in Wonderland,' is currently on display at Troy University's International Arts Center, and visitors continue to be amazed.
The exhibit, which premiered Oct. 8 in the IAC's Fred NallHollis Museum, was inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic novels 'Alice'sAdventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass.'
'This particular exhibit is a reflection of artistry not many people have really seen before or will see again,' said Al Head, former longtime executive director of the Alabama State Council on the Arts. 'This exhibit stands alone in terms of the quality and depth, and we are really proud to be able to have the entire ‘Alice in Wonderland' series on exhibit here at Troy University. It's a rare opportunity to be able to see this work in its entirety in this space.'
For visitors, the exhibit is a fascinating glimpse into themind of one of Alabama's most creative artistic minds.
'I've seen Nall's work exhibited in other galleries and locationsin the U.S. and abroad, and I thought this was one of the best exhibits I'veever seen,' said Jeanie Thompson, who attended the exhibit's opening ceremony. 'Theway the work is exhibited gives you a good sense of Nall's life as an artistand his journey through various styles and media. But it's really more than that,because Nall's personality is on display. The elements of his personality thatare very whimsical, that are very passionate and sometimes outrageous are allthere, so for somebody seeing it for the first time, it's a really profoundintroduction.'
Nall worked on the series from 1977 through 1979, using real-lifefigures to match the characters in Carroll's stories.
'I read [‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'] and fell inlove, and so I traveled for the next three years all around the world findingpeople that matched the personalities of these characters,' Nall said. 'That'show ‘Alice' was born.'
TROY First Lady Janice Hawkins said she is proud to see theUniversity hosting the exhibit.
'It is phenomenal,' she said. 'It is his most significantand prized work, and he developed unique techniques in the process of creatingthis.'
TROY students played a significant hand in creating the displayof Nall's work, physically hanging and arranging the pieces.
In addition to 'Alice,' IAC visitors can now see a newsection of the Fred Nall Hollis Museum: a recreation of Nall's Fairhope studio.

This area was entirely created by TROY students, who soughtto give visitors another look at Nall's life.
'It's just been created and finished, and it's walking intowhat you would experience by walking into Nall's studio,' Hawkins said. 'Youcan go in there and get a glimpse into his life and personality, and that's whatthis show is and all the fabulous works you see in here. Our students for themost part designed this space, hung the [‘Alice'] show and completely did theNall Studio. We have the most wonderful students, and I am so proud of them andgrateful for them.'

Additionally, visitors can view the newly displayed 'Three Who Dared: Civil Rights Icons,' featuring Nall's portraits of three of the most influential Alabama citizens who were instrumental to the success of the U.S. civil rights movement while facing great personal and professional risk: Rosa Parks, Judge Frank Johnson and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
