"Humpty Dumpty" is a character in an English nursery rhyme, who is typically portrayed as an anthropomorphic egg. The character is best known through the depiction in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," where he appears in a chapter of the same name. The illustration of Humpty Dumpty for "Through the Looking-Glass" is one of the classic images created by Sir John Tenniel, who was the principal illustrator for Lewis Carroll's Alice books. Tenniel's illustrations are celebrated for their detailed and imaginative contribution to the visual interpretation of Carroll's work.

The illustration of Humpty Dumpty from "Through the Looking-Glass" was first published in 1871. In this depiction, Humpty Dumpty is shown sitting on a wall, as described in the text, conversing with Alice. Tenniel's interpretation has become iconic, influencing many subsequent portrayals of the character in various media. The image captures the whimsical and absurd nature of Carroll's world, with Humpty Dumpty's distinctively round and precariously balanced form offering a visual representation of the character's famous fall from the wall, as recounted in the nursery rhyme.

Tenniel's work is characterized by its fine detail, clear lines, and the ability to convey character and narrative through visual means. His illustrations for the Alice books are considered masterpieces of book illustration and have played a significant role in shaping the visual culture associated with Carroll's literary creations. The "Humpty Dumpty" illustration is no exception, and it remains one of the most recognizable images from the canon of Alice illustrations, enduring as a symbol of the nonsensical and fantastical elements that pervade "Through the Looking-Glass."
