Alice In Wonderland Literature Illustration Sir John Tenniel 19th Century Art Book Illustration

Rodney Engen’s Sir John Tenniel: Alice’s White Knight invites collectors and Alice lovers into the life of the Victorian artist whose drawings defined Wonderland. This 1991 first-edition hardcover from Lund Humphries pairs 234 crisp pages with a sturdy dust jacket, all preserved in very good condition.

The biography traces Tenniel’s journey from Punch cartoonist to the imagination behind Alice’s iconic visuals, offering fresh context for admirers of classic illustration. Engen’s narrative balances scholarly depth with lively detail, making it as engaging for casual readers as for serious students of art history.

A clean, unmarked interior and tight binding make this copy ideal for display or research; only light scuffing on the jacket keeps it from perfection. Vintage charm and first-issue status give the book lasting shelf appeal for enthusiasts of Alice in Wonderland, British satire, or 19th-century graphic arts.
