"Alice and the Knitting Sheep" is a renowned illustration from "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," the 1871 sequel to Lewis Carroll's seminal work "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." This illustration, like others in the book, was created by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, whose work is closely associated with Carroll's Alice books. Tenniel's illustrations have become iconic, playing a crucial role in the visual interpretation and enduring popularity of Carroll's stories.

"Through the Looking-Glass" continues the adventures of Alice, a young girl who ventures into a fantastical world. In this sequel, the narrative and imagery draw heavily on themes of mirror imagery, reversals, and the logic of a dream-like world. "Alice and the Knitting Sheep" captures one of the book's whimsical moments, where Alice encounters characters and scenes that defy her expectations and the rules of the natural world.

The illustration is notable for its intricate detail, expressive characters, and the way it complements Carroll's text, enriching the reader's imagination and experience of the story. Tenniel's work for the Alice books was groundbreaking for its time, setting a high standard for book illustration and influencing the development of fantasy illustration for children's literature. His illustrations, including "Alice and the Knitting Sheep," are celebrated for their ability to capture the essence of Carroll's characters and the surreal, often absurd world they inhabit.

The collaboration between Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel resulted in a series of images that have become deeply ingrained in the cultural consciousness, with "Alice and the Knitting Sheep" standing out as a prime example of their synergistic creation. This illustration, along with the others in "Through the Looking-Glass," has been reproduced, adapted, and referenced in various forms of media, attesting to its lasting impact on visual culture and its place in the canon of classic children's literature.
