Abstract

"Lewis Carroll's two Alice books are among the most popular works of English literature thanks in part to the ninety-two indelible illustrations that John Tenniel drew for them. The Tenniel Illustrations to the "Alice" Books situates their outstanding success in several historical contexts, including Tenniel's career as a leading artist for Punch magazine. This new edition also pays special attention to the material circumstances that enabled and conditioned the printing of the illustrations. The original twelve chapters have been revised and updated throughout, drawing on archival and published resources made available in recent decades. Six chapters are entirely new, explaining how Tenniel's drawings were professionally hand-engraved on wood blocks; how electrotype replicas were made from those blocks; and what problems could mar the commercial printing of such images--as notoriously happened in the first printing of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which Carroll suppressed on Tenniel's advice. Also considered for the first time here are the coloring of Tenniel's black-and-white illustrations, by Tenniel and other artists, and the extraordinary treatment later given to Tenniel's illustrations by the prestigious Limited Editions Club"--Dust jacket.
