EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical black and white lithograph captures the comical scene from Lewis Carroll's beloved tale, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". In this iconic image, we see Father William skillfully balancing an eel on his nose. Created by renowned artist John Tenniel and published in 1891, this print transports us to the enchanting world of Alice as she recites a poem to the curious Caterpillar. Father William stands confidently on a riverbank, his fishing rod held firmly in one hand while he effortlessly balances the slippery creature atop his nose. The contrast between Father William's rotund figure and the slender eel adds to the humor of the moment. His expression reveals both amusement and concentration as he maintains perfect equilibrium. Tenniel's meticulous attention to detail brings this children's illustration to life. From Father William's expressive face down to every wrinkle on his clothing, each element contributes to our understanding of this fantastical story. This print invites viewers young and old alike into Carroll's imaginative realm where anything is possible. As we gaze upon this delightful artwork, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of classic literature and its ability to transport us beyond reality. Whether you are familiar with Alice's adventures or encountering them for the first time through Tenniel’s masterful depiction, let your imagination take flight as you explore this charming scene from Wonderland.
