This very interesting book from Michael Hancher compares Tenniel’s illustrations for the ‘Alice’ books to his other work (a.o. for the magazine Punch), and illustrations from Tenniel’s contemporaries. It also explains the production process of the illustrations, and how this process influenced the final look of Tenniel’s illustrations.

This annotated copy of “Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there” does not analyse ‘hidden meanings’ and references to actual people or events, like Martin Gardner’s “Annotated Alice” does, but clarifies the narrative structure of the story, and draws our attention to things like the gender of characters, death jokes, Carroll’s writing skills, possible errors in the story line, etc.
