"The Mad Hatter's Tea Party" is one of the most iconic illustrations from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," a work of children's literature written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The illustration was created by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, who was born in 1820 and passed away in 1914. This particular illustration accompanies the seventh chapter of the book, titled "A Mad Tea-Party," and was first published in 1865.

Tenniel's illustration vividly brings to life the chaotic and whimsical scene described by Carroll, where Alice becomes a guest at a tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter, with attendance by the March Hare and the Dormouse. The image is renowned for its fine detail, expressive characters, and the ability to capture the absurdity of the scene. Tenniel's work on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass," is considered some of the most famous and classic examples of book illustration.

The "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" has been reproduced and adapted numerous times, reflecting its enduring influence on popular culture. The illustration not only defined the visual representation of Carroll's characters for generations but also contributed to the broader visual language of fantasy and whimsy in literature and art. Tenniel's illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" were engraved onto blocks of wood, to be printed in the book alongside Carroll's text, a common practice for high-quality illustrations at the time.

Tenniel's collaboration with Carroll and his illustrations for the Alice books are celebrated for their imaginative power and technical skill, and they remain a subject of study for scholars interested in Victorian literature, illustration, and the history of children's books. The "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" continues to be a quintessential example of Tenniel's artistic legacy and a key piece of the rich tapestry that is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
