"Alice and the Cheshire Cat" is a renowned illustration from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," a seminal work of children's literature written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The illustration, created by Sir John Tenniel, was first published in 1865 and has since become one of the most iconic images associated with the Alice stories. Tenniel, a British illustrator and political cartoonist, was commissioned by Carroll to illustrate the first edition of the book, and his depictions of the characters and scenes have largely defined the visual representation of the Alice universe for generations.

The illustration captures a pivotal moment in the narrative when Alice, the young protagonist who has fallen into a fantastical world, encounters the Cheshire Cat, a mysterious and mischievous character known for its distinctive grin and ability to disappear and reappear at will. Tenniel's depiction is celebrated for its ability to convey the whimsy, absurdity, and surreal nature of Carroll's story through meticulous detail, expressive character design, and a keen sense of composition. The Cheshire Cat is perched on a bough of a tree, with its wide, eerie grin being the focal point, while Alice stands below, looking up in a mixture of curiosity and bewilderment.

This illustration, like many others by Tenniel for the Alice books, showcases his masterful use of line and his ability to bring Carroll's imaginative world to life. It has been widely analyzed and interpreted by scholars and enthusiasts for its artistic and literary significance, contributing to the enduring popularity and cultural legacy of the Alice stories. The collaboration between Carroll and Tenniel resulted in a work that transcends the boundaries of children's literature, appealing to both young readers and adults alike, and "Alice and the Cheshire Cat" remains a quintessential example of this successful partnership.
