Sir John Tenniel was an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist. He was the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years. Tenniel was born on 28 February 1820, and died on 25 February 1914. He was knighted for his artistic achievements in 1893.
Author Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), was rather fussy about how his book and the illustrations would look, so he provided Tenniel with many details and instructions. Tenniel at first refused when Carroll asked him to also illustrate his second book. When Carroll contacted illustrator Harry Furniss about illustrating “Sylvie and Bruno”, Tenniel a...
Initially, Carroll wanted to use his own manuscript illustrations for the official publication of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland“. However, he was discouraged to do that and eventually admitted that he needed a professional illustrator. On the advice of Robinson Duckworth he chose John Tenniel to illustrate his book, and contacted him around 25 ...
Carroll worked much more in parallel with his illustrator for “Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there” than he did for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, for which the illustrations were only drawn after the story was generally finished. This time, he already started looking for an illustrator in 1868, around the time he started on t...
In the original manuscript of the book, Carroll drew his own illustrations. Carroll’s drawings of Alice were not modelled after Alice Liddell either. It is suggested that he was inspired by paintings by his friend Dante Gabriel Rossetti (modeled by Annie Miller) and his friend Arthur Hughes. Carroll owned Hughes’ oil painting ‘Girl with Lilacs’ (St...
For the ‘The Nursery Alice’, 20 of Tenniel’s illustrations were enlarged, colorized, and some of them were even slightly redrawn. Among others, Alice’s dresses were drawn with less crinoline. Tenniel hand-colored them. Dalziel’s signature has been removed from all Nursery illustrations. Edward Evans created the woodblocks (multiple versions for eac...
According to Rodney Engen, Tenniel’s biographer, Tenniel’s method for creating the illustrations of the Alice books was the same as the method he used for Punch, namely preliminary pencil drawings, further drawings in ‘ink and Chinese white’ to simulate the wood engraver’s line, then transference to the wood-block (in reverse) by the use of tracing...
Tenniel made some mistakes in his illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Then there is the curious case of Alice’s missing face in the illustration of her and the Cheshire Cat in the tree. In several editions, we only see her hair, not her profile. This is possibly a mistake made by the printer when creating woodblocks for the illustra...

Tenniel drew 92 drawings for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (London: Macmillan, 1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (London ...
