Alice In Wonderland
Fighting Styles!
In 'Through the Looking-Glass', the sequel to 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland', Lewis Carroll describes the White and Red Knights, as they fight their battle to see which should claim Alice as his prisoner, using their sticks in a peculiar fashion. "[T]hey hold their clubs with their arms," Alice notices, "as if they were Punch and Judy." Tenniel’s illustration confirms this.
Mad Tea Party
One of the most famous scenes from 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland' is the mad tea party; cups of tea play a key part, of course.
The National Portrait Gallery
Among the treasures that live at the National Portrait Gallery, you can find not only Holbein’s sketch for his Portrait of Henry VIII, but also photos taken by 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland' author Lewis Carroll.
John Tenniel
The original (and still best known) illustrations for 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland' were done by John Tenniel, chief illustrator to 'Punch', a magazine that takes its name from Punch and Judy.
