Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
48 cards · Artist John Tenniel
Carroll made the story up on a boat, rowing the three Liddell sisters up the Thames on a July afternoon in 1862. Ten-year-old Alice asked him to write it down for her, and he did, by hand, with his own drawings, as a Christmas present. The published version followed in 1865.
For that one he wanted a real illustrator and got John Tenniel, the political cartoonist at Punch, whose forty-two drawings were cut into wood by the Dalziel brothers. Macmillan had Harry Theaker colour a selection of them in 1911, forty-six years later.
The 1,865 printing nearly did not survive. Tenniel looked at the finished pictures, judged the press had ruined them, and Carroll recalled the entire run of two thousand at his own expense. Around twenty-two copies escaped, which is how a book its own illustrator rejected became one of the most valuable ever printed in English.
