Introduction

These web pages provide resources for scholars of John Tenniel’s illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (AAIW) and Through the Looking-Glass (TTLG). All the images from the two books are reproduced in the section labelled All Illustrations with information such as measurements and location within the text. Where variant versions of the drawings exist, such as those from The Nursery “Alice” or the ‘Wonderland Postage-Stamp Case’ they are included for comparative purposes. Links are in place to catalogues of museum collections which contain proof copies of the illustrations and other relevant holdings. Where these relate to specific images, they are on the relevant illustration pages.

Titles

Of particular importance are the titles and 'id' codes (eg 'AAIW103') assigned to the illustrations for AAIW and TTLG which are from the definitive ‘Lastoria List’. This nomenclature was defined by Amanda Lastoria in order to standardise references to the illustrations. These titles are now being used in the academic world and, more widely, in published books and on websites. They have been adopted and are promoted by Lewis Carroll Resources and the Lewis Carroll Society; their use is recommended in all scholarly work.

Further details of the Lastoria Lists (for AAIW and for TTLG) can be found in these articles:
