There Goes Bill is a notable illustration from the classic children's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," written by Lewis Carroll (the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) and first published in 1865. This particular illustration was created by Sir John Tenniel, an English illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist, who is perhaps best known for his work in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel, "Through the Looking-Glass." Tenniel's illustrations have played a significant role in the enduring popularity and visual interpretation of Carroll's story, contributing significantly to the Alice canon and the way the characters and scenes are imagined by readers.

"There Goes Bill" depicts a scene from Chapter 4 of the book, titled "The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill." In this scene, Alice, having grown to a giant size after consuming a cake labeled "EAT ME," finds herself stuck inside the White Rabbit's house. The White Rabbit, in an attempt to resolve the situation, enlists the help of his gardener, Bill the Lizard, to enter the house through the chimney. The illustration captures the moment when Alice, in an effort to defend herself, kicks Bill, sending him flying through the air. This image is emblematic of Tenniel's ability to blend humor with the fantastical elements of Carroll's story, creating memorable and iconic imagery that has captivated readers for generations.

Tenniel's illustrations for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" were the result of a close collaboration with Lewis Carroll, with Tenniel having significant creative input into the visual representation of the characters and scenes. "There Goes Bill" is a prime example of Tenniel's meticulous attention to detail, his skill in conveying motion and emotion, and his capacity to visually interpret the whimsical and often absurd world that Carroll created. The illustration not only serves to enhance the narrative but also contributes to the reader's imagination and understanding of the story's dynamic and fantastical elements.

As a key piece of the visual legacy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," "There Goes Bill" remains an important work within the canon of British illustration and continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to one of the most beloved stories in children's literature.
