"Alice meets the Dodo" is a renowned illustration from the classic children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," written by Lewis Carroll and published in 1865. The illustration was created by John Tenniel, who is celebrated for his distinctive and imaginative artwork that has visually defined Carroll's fantastical world for generations of readers. In this particular drawing, Tenniel captures the moment when the protagonist, Alice, encounters the Dodo, a character that has been interpreted as a caricature of the author himself, Charles Dodgson, whose stammer led him to introduce himself as "Do-do-dodgson."

The illustration is a testament to Tenniel's mastery of the wood-engraving process and his ability to translate the whimsical and often nonsensical elements of Carroll's text into coherent and engaging imagery. Tenniel's work on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel "Through the Looking-Glass" is considered some of the most iconic in the realm of children's literature, with his illustrations playing a crucial role in the enduring popularity and visual identity of the Alice stories.

In "Alice meets the Dodo," the artist's attention to detail, use of cross-hatching, and ability to convey expression and movement bring the scene to life. The Dodo stands as a dignified yet absurd figure, surrounded by other quirky characters, such as the Lory and the Eaglet, who are all participants in the "Caucus race" – a satirical take on the political caucus system of the time. This image not only serves as a key moment in the narrative but also exemplifies the Victorian era's blend of fantasy, satire, and the emerging genre of literary nonsense.

Tenniel's illustrations have been reproduced and adapted countless times, influencing a wide range of artistic interpretations of the Alice stories, from theatrical productions to animated films. "Alice meets the Dodo" remains a significant piece of this artistic legacy, capturing the imaginative spirit of Carroll's work and the visual ingenuity of Tenniel's artistry.
