Alice in Wonderland has been depicted over and over for decades, and it is for that reason that I'm not touching on it too heavily outside of research - I don't want to redo a book which has been done so many times before. However, it's a great source of reference for different interpretations of the Dodo character.

Alice in Wonderland has such popularity that even Disney have created an interpretation, including this plump, jolly and somewhat professor-like bird. It's interesting to see the different ways people have interpreted the colouring and proportion of the Dodo, as there are so many illustrations and examples of Wonderland.

As I have a large collection of images of further Alice interpretations, you can see more under the cut;

large prop, not a costume, but has an interesting greyscale
colour palette. The mouse is interacting with one of the
other bird props. |
