"Alice and the Caterpillar" is a renowned illustration from the classic children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," written by Lewis Carroll and first published in 1865. The illustration is one of the original works by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, who was commissioned by Carroll to create images for his narrative. The image was included in the 1866 American edition published by Macmillan, New York, following the first UK edition.

The illustration captures a pivotal scene in Chapter V, titled "Advice from a Caterpillar," where Alice encounters a caterpillar sitting atop a mushroom in the surreal world she has tumbled into. The image is iconic, showcasing Tenniel's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the absurdity and whimsy of Carroll's story. In the scene, the Caterpillar, who is depicted as an aloof and somewhat condescending character, engages in a bizarre conversation with Alice, who has been undergoing numerous physical changes in size.

Tenniel's work for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is highly regarded for its ability to complement and enhance the text, bringing to life the fantastical elements of the story with a blend of realism and fantasy. His illustrations have played a significant role in shaping the visual standard for Carroll's characters and have become synonymous with the story of Alice in the cultural imagination.

The "Alice and the Caterpillar" illustration is not only a testament to Tenniel's artistic skill but also an important piece of literary history, contributing to the enduring popularity and legacy of Carroll's work. The image has been reproduced and reinterpreted numerous times, reflecting its status as an iconic piece of Victorian book illustration and its influence on both literature and the visual arts.
