Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Illustration - Classic John Tenniel Art #2266785 (License: Personal Use)

This celebrated 1865 wood-engraving by Sir John Tenniel depicts the surreal tea party scene from Chapter VII of Lewis Carroll’s *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*, where Alice encounters the eccentric Mad Hatter (wearing his “In this style 10/6” hat), the frantic March Hare, and the drowsy Dormouse. The composition features ornate period details-china teacups, a silver teapot, ivy-draped stone walls-and captures the absurd humor and visual wit central to the tale. Tenniel’s precise linework and expressive character design have defined the public’s imagination of Wonderland for over 150 years.
