"Alice in Wonderland: The Queen's Croquet Ground" is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, a renowned English book illustrator, for the classic children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. Rackham's work is known for its rich detail, fantasy themes, and often dark, eerie qualities, which have made his illustrations enduringly popular and influential in the world of children's literature.

Created as part of a series of illustrations for the 1907 edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "The Queen's Croquet Ground" depicts a scene from the eighth chapter of Carroll's book, where the protagonist, Alice, becomes a participant in a bizarre and chaotic croquet game hosted by the tyrannical Queen of Hearts. The game is played with flamingos as mallets and hedgehogs as balls, showcasing the absurdity and whimsy that are hallmarks of the Wonderland universe.

Rackham's interpretation of this scene is notable for its intricate line work and the way it captures the manic energy of the Queen's croquet game. His use of muted colors and the inclusion of anthropomorphic creatures reflect the fantastical elements of the story while also adding a sense of otherworldliness and tension. The illustration is a testament to Rackham's skill in bringing literary characters to life and his ability to convey the mood and atmosphere of the narrative through his art.

As with many of Rackham's illustrations, "The Queen's Croquet Ground" has been reproduced in numerous editions of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and has been celebrated for its contribution to the visual legacy of Lewis Carroll's work. Rackham's illustrations have played a significant role in shaping the public's imagination of the Wonderland universe, and "The Queen's Croquet Ground" remains a standout piece in his oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery of the Golden Age of Illustration.
