On 8th April 1865, Tenniel was working on the 30th picture. By then, Carroll was still working on the final text for publication. Carroll sent the galley proofs for all the text to Tenniel on May 1865, so he could complete the illustrations. In the end, forty-two illustrations were completed – twice as many as Carroll initially anticipated. ( Jones and Gladstone 253-255 and Jaques and Gidders) Using the caricature technique of comic comparison, Carroll positions Alice next to objects and creatures that are smaller and larger to make her appear, in turn, taller and littler. For example, in Chapter I, in a marginal inset illustration, Carroll draws Alice lying on the ground, leaning on her elbow to gaze directly at the White Rabbit, who is standing next to her and appearing to be half her size (Under Ground [UG] 13). Carroll effectively uses comic comparison to show Alice shrinking as well as growing. In Chapter III, Carroll places Alice standing next to a large Puppy, towering over her (UG 46). Carroll also intensifies Alice’s small stature here by positioning her in profile. Alice appears slight and petite alongside the Puppy, drawn in three-quarter view and filling two-thirds of the illustration. Carroll first met Alexander Macmillan, a high-powered London publisher, on 19 October 1863. [11] His firm, Macmillan Publishers, agreed to publish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by sometime in 1864. [67] Carroll financed the initial print run, possibly because it gave him more editorial authority than other financing methods. [67] He managed publication details such as typesetting and engaged illustrators and translators. [68] Ovenden, Graham (1972). The Illustrators of Alice. New York: St. Martin's Press. p.102.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass and What She Found There contain the well-known illustrations of Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914).On July 4, 1862, English mathematician and logician Charles Dodgson boarded a small boat with a few friends. Among them was a little girl named Alice Liddell. To entertain her and her sisters as they floated down the river between Oxford and Godstow, Dodgson fancied a whimsical story, which he’d come to publish three years later under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Alice in Wonderland went on to become one of the most beloved children’s books of all time, and my all-time favorite.
