Original Storyboard of Alice in the Tulgey Wood
Wow. Was I ever excited to get my hands on this beautiful piece! This is an original pastel storyboard on black paper, featuring Alice walking through the Tulgey Wood, presumably with the Cheshire Cat.
While it is not signed, it is attributed to Bill Peet, who did quite a bit of story art for Alice, as seen in this post. The art is very dark, I did pump up the colors a bit so they would be more visible out here on the web. Gotta find the perfect place to hang this...

Bill Peet Storyboard Stills - Alice Meets the Caterpillar
This is a great set of images from my favorite sequence in Alice in Wonderland, when Alice meets the Caterpillar.
As I understand it, this was the very first sequence in the film that was fully animated, which might explain why there are RKO promotional stills of the storyboards for this sequence.
Storyboard stills are not very common, most of the stills released to the press were actual frames from the film, or promotional cel setups.
The art in these is just fantastic, executed I believe by Bill Peet.
An interesting fact about this sequence, the color styling of Alice's dress is different in this sequence from the rest of the film. If you look closely, you'll notice that the collar tabs on her dress are a lighter shade of blue than the rest of her dress.
Art of the caterpillar is difficult to come by, I feel quite fortunate to have these even in still form.
