"Alice and the Red Queen" is a notable illustration from the classic children's book "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The illustration is one of the prominent works by the English artist Sir John Tenniel, who was born in 1820 and died in 1914. First published in 1871, this book is the sequel to Carroll's earlier work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865).

The image depicts a scene from the book where Alice, the protagonist, encounters the Red Queen, one of the chess piece characters in the story that takes place in a dreamlike world on the other side of a mirror. The Red Queen is known for her quick temper and for frequently ordering executions, although these orders are never actually carried out. In this particular illustration, Tenniel captures the moment of their meeting, showcasing his ability to convey the fantastical elements of Carroll's narrative through his detailed and expressive Victorian-era illustrations.

Tenniel's illustrations were integral to the success of Carroll's tales, providing readers with visual representations of the story's whimsical characters and setting. His work is characterized by its fine detail, clear lines, and the ability to convey character and narrative through visual means. The collaboration between Carroll and Tenniel resulted in some of the most iconic images in English literature, with "Alice and the Red Queen" being a prime example of their enduring legacy.

The illustration not only serves as a visual accompaniment to the text but also adds depth to the character of the Red Queen and her interaction with Alice. Tenniel's depiction of the Red Queen is often interpreted as embodying the themes of power, authority, and the absurdity of the world Alice has stumbled into. The image is emblematic of the broader themes of the novel, such as the exploration of identity, the nature of reality, and the complexities of logic and language.

"Alice and the Red Queen" remains a significant piece of literary and artistic history, reflecting the fruitful collaboration between Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel. It continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the visual identity of the Alice stories and its influence on the genre of children's literature and illustration.
