Sir John Tenniel

THE GENIUS ILLUSTRATOR BEHIND "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"

Sir John Tenniel, a key figure in Victorian illustration, is best known for bringing to life the wonderful world of Lewis Carroll through his iconic drawings for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" . Born in London in 1820, this British artist combined technical mastery, boundless imagination, and a keen eye for detail.

In 1865, the world discovered the extraordinary adventures of a curious little girl who fell down a rabbit hole: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". If the story has captivated generations of readers, it is largely thanks to Tenniel's black and white engravings, which captured the strangeness, poetry, and humor of this absurd world.

From the Mad Hatter to the Queen of Hearts, passing through the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit, his illustrations are now an integral part of the collective imagination. They transcend time, offering each reader a visual gateway to this fantastical world where logic bends to the impossible.

Sir John Tenniel, through his unique and expressive style, transformed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland into much more than just a children's story: a timeless work, at the crossroads of art and literature.
