Describing the world of imagery that he created for the “calculated pandemonium” of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland", Barry Moser stated: “I have tried to keep the illustrations weird (yet reasonable), and grotesque (yet humorous), but I have not tried to make them pretty or graceful.” Moser’s compositions show the story unfolding from Alice’s point of view, effectively placing the reader in her head to see through Alice’s eyes the fantastical characters and objects she encounters on her adventures.

Let's be quite clear. - Bertrand is going to sneak in and out of the groups at the stock exchange and polish up the tarred bitumen shares, he'll make them sparkle, he'll say they're being snapped up, snatched up all round, that they're rising like balloons... As for you, Baron, you have a certain 'savoir faire', go and buy some for 20%, 30%, even 100% more. I've got the whole lot in my wallet, they won't be able to deliver any, we'll sell them for what we like and providence will do the rest. - (Bertrand) Forward march against the dupes, let's cash in... fly... etc.
