Alice and Through the Looking Glass were both very much part of my childhood reading...I happened to be in a couple of productions of the works as a child (card, flower and hedgehog/croquet ball in a 2nd grade school production, and Mrs. March Hare at age 10 oir 11 in a ballet production) and developed particular affection for them as a result of having acted in them. (The former is an example of school use of Alice, though it dates back to the early '60s!) I always loved the poems, especially Jabberwocky...to this day it is one of the few poems that I can recite from memory. It was fun and easy to weigh in on that poem in a college linguistics class, where we tried parsing it! I was very interested in what Maia asked about illustrations...but did not quite understand the phrase " how a book is separable into inseparable in its component parts of text story, image story, and design story" ("separable into inseparable" is what threw me). I do think that whatever images you see when you first become acquainted with a story do weave themselves into the content of the story..for me, it was Tenniel. I remember being somewhat repulsed by some of the characters, like the nurse shaking the baby pig, but overall liking them very much. Don't know any of the other illustrators you all have mentioned, other than Disney, but hope to look them up on my semester break from library school!
