"Alice and the White Knight" is a renowned illustration from "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," the sequel to Lewis Carroll's seminal work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." First published in 1871, this illustration is part of a series created by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, who was born in 1820 and passed away in 1914. The collaboration between Carroll (1832-1898) and Tenniel brought to life one of the most beloved and enduring children's stories in the English language, with the illustrations playing a crucial role in defining the visual landscape of Carroll's imaginative world.

The "Alice and the White Knight" illustration captures a poignant moment from the book's eighth chapter, "It's My Own Invention." In this scene, Alice encounters the White Knight, who is one of the story's most endearing and complex characters. The White Knight, distinguished by his kindness, eccentric inventions, and gentle demeanor, represents a fatherly figure to Alice, offering guidance and protection as she navigates the whimsical and often perplexing landscape of the Looking-Glass world. Tenniel's illustration masterfully conveys the essence of this encounter, highlighting the White Knight's quirky armor and inventions, as well as the connection between him and Alice.

John Tenniel's illustrations for both of Lewis Carroll's Alice books are celebrated for their detail, whimsy, and the way they capture the spirit of Carroll's text. Tenniel's work on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass" (1871) set a visual standard for all subsequent adaptations of Carroll's work. His illustrations have become so iconic that they are almost inseparable from the public's perception of the Alice stories.

The collaboration between Carroll and Tenniel was a fruitful one, though not without its challenges. Carroll was known for his exacting standards and detailed instructions for his illustrator, while Tenniel was a respected artist with his own creative vision. Despite this, the two managed to work together to create a series of images that have endured for over a century as defining representations of the Alice stories.

"Alice and the White Knight" is not just an illustration; it is a cultural artifact that embodies the Victorian era's fascination with fantasy, whimsy, and the exploration of complex psychological themes under the guise of children's literature. It remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's work and Tenniel's artistry, captivating audiences with its depth, beauty, and imagination.
