John Tenniel (1820 – 1914) was a prominent English illustrator, graphic humourist and political cartoonist of the second half of the 19th century. An alumnus of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, he was knighted for artistic achievements in 1893, the first such honour ever bestowed on an illustrator or cartoonist. Tenniel's detailed black-and-white drawings done for Alice in Wonderland are widely recognized to be the most iconic depictions of the famous characters; "Carroll never describes the Mad Hatter: our image of him is pure Tenniel” (Bryan Talbot, comic book illustrator and writer).
