A Different Person Then
Pictures by Henri Joseph RedoutéWords by Lewis Carroll
A single gold-banded iris by Henri Joseph Redouté rises in soft white and yellow, paired with Alice's line from Lewis Carroll: "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." Redouté painted this iris in 1812, and Carroll's words come from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. For someone starting a new chapter.
