Slowly, i am working through the Alice images i scanned from a 1930s copy of the book that i think was my mother’s. Most of the impressions are very clean, but some plates are slightly damaged. This one is not too bad.

Haigha and Hatta, in Alice Through the Looking Glass, are presumably parodies of Hengist and Horsa, the Romulus and Remus of Anglo-Saxon England. Here they serve tea and bread and butter while the lion and unicorn (symbols of England & Scotland) pause fighting for refreshments. All very British.

The Tenniel Alice images are widespread, but these are higher quality & cleaner than many.

Keir Starmer removed the Whips of four MPs for alleged persistent 'breaches of party discipline'. This cartoon features Starmer and the four MPs in a homage/parody of John Tenniel's original illustrations for the book Alice in Wonderland.

In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass," Tweedledum and Tweedledee claim Alice is just a figment of the Red King's dream. "If that there King was to wake, ... you'd go out—bang!—just like a candle!" Alice cries as she desperately argues she's real, half-convinced she isn't.

"He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought -
So rested he by the Tumtum Tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!"

- Lewis Carroll, "Jabberwocky"
🎨 John Tenniel
