In 1907, British illustrator Arthur Rackham created the art for a new edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The original watercolor for the iconic scene in which "the whole pack [of cards] rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her," Alice, is currently held by Peter Harrington of London. Play your cards right and it can be yours for 125,000 GBP.
