"The Shower of Cards" is a renowned illustration by Sir John Tenniel, created for the first edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," a classic work of children's literature written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Published in 1865, the book follows the fantastical journey of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a peculiar world populated by anthropomorphic creatures.

Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, was commissioned by Carroll to produce the illustrations for his novel. His work has since become iconic, with "The Shower of Cards" being one of the most memorable images from the book. The illustration depicts the climactic moment when the Queen of Hearts orders Alice's execution, only for Alice to defiantly dismiss them as "nothing but a pack of cards." At this point, the courtroom dissolves into chaos as the cards rise up and fly at Alice, signaling the end of her surreal adventures in Wonderland.

The artwork is characterized by Tenniel's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the whimsy and absurdity of Carroll's world. His illustrations have played a significant role in shaping the visual narrative of "Alice in Wonderland," influencing countless adaptations and interpretations of the story. "The Shower of Cards" stands as a testament to Tenniel's artistic skill and his contribution to the enduring legacy of one of the most beloved tales in English literature.
