The BBC World Service reported this morning that the
original woodcuts done by Sir John Tenniel for "Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass"
had been discovered in a bank vault in London.

Apparently while searching through the Macmillan's vault in
their bank a large black case was uncovered, bearing a note
which said "Keys in accounts dept". When this was broken
open, a similar case was found inside. When this was opened
in turn, the woodcuts were discovered. They are in perfect
condition.
