"But Wait a Bit" is an illustration by Sir John Tenniel, created for the 1871 novel "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" by Lewis Carroll. This artwork is one of the fifty illustrations that Tenniel, an English illustrator and political cartoonist, produced for the sequel to Carroll's acclaimed "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865). The image accompanies the text in the chapter where Alice encounters the White Knight, who embodies a sense of chivalrous absurdity and inventiveness, characteristics that are prevalent throughout the Looking-Glass world.

The illustration captures a moment of comedic yet poignant interaction between Alice and the White Knight, who is known for his eccentric inventions and clumsy demeanor. Tenniel's mastery in engraving is evident in the intricate details and expressive characters, which enhance the whimsical and surreal atmosphere of the narrative. His work on the Alice books is celebrated for its ability to visually translate Carroll's imaginative world, and "But Wait a Bit" is no exception, offering readers a visual anchor in the fantastical journey of the protagonist.

Tenniel's illustrations have played a significant role in shaping the public's perception of Carroll's characters and have become iconic in their own right. "But Wait a Bit" is a testament to Tenniel's artistic skill and his significant contribution to the enduring legacy of the Alice stories. As with many of Tenniel's illustrations for the Alice books, this image has been reproduced in numerous editions and has influenced countless adaptations, becoming an integral part of the visual lexicon associated with Carroll's literary works.
