"Manners and Lessons" is a notable illustration from the classic children's book "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" by Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898). First published in 1871, this work is the sequel to Carroll's immensely successful "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865). The illustration was created by Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914), an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, who is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Carroll.

Tenniel's illustrations are integral to the enduring popularity and visual interpretation of Carroll's tales. "Manners and Lessons" is one of the fifty illustrations he crafted for "Through the Looking-Glass," and it captures the whimsical and topsy-turvy world that Alice encounters when she steps through a mirror into a fantastical realm. Tenniel's work is characterized by its sharp detail, expressive characters, and the ability to convey the surreal and often nonsensical nature of the world that Carroll created.

In "Manners and Lessons," Tenniel's artistry brings to life the peculiar characters and scenes that Alice encounters, contributing to the narrative and adding depth to the text. The illustration not only complements the story but also enriches the reader's imagination, allowing for a more vivid and engaging experience. Tenniel's contributions to "Through the Looking-Glass" were instrumental in defining the visual standard for Carroll's work, and his illustrations have become iconic in the canon of children's literature.

The collaboration between Carroll and Tenniel was a fruitful one, with Tenniel's illustrations playing a significant role in the success of the Alice books. The images he created have had a lasting impact on the visual culture associated with Carroll's stories and have influenced numerous adaptations in various media over the years. "Manners and Lessons," like the other illustrations in "Through the Looking-Glass," remains a testament to Tenniel's artistic skill and his important role in bringing Carroll's imaginative world to life.
