2016 Alice in Wonderland Wall Calendar

Millions of readers know and love Alices Adventures in Wonderland, but far fewer know that the first published edition of Lewis Carrolls unparalleled tale was illustrated by an English knight who was blind in one eye. Sir John Tenniel (English, 18201914) was a popular political cartoonist for the British humor magazine Punch when Carroll asked him to draw Alice. His imagination and expressive style brought Alice and her adventures to life on the page, presented here from a copy of The Nursery Alice in the collection of the British Library.
