EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Third of the Father William series" is a remarkable piece of art created by renowned artist John Tenniel in 1889. The print is based on Lewis Carroll's beloved poem, "You Are Old, Father William" which appears in his iconic book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The image transports us to Victorian England, where we witness a whimsical scene unfolding. A distinguished-looking father figure stands at the center, surrounded by an array of delectable food items that symbolize abundance and indulgence. His family members gather around him with expressions of curiosity and amusement. Tenniel's intricate engraving technique brings out every detail in this enchanting illustration. The monochrome aesthetics add depth and mystery to the composition while capturing the essence of 19th-century British humor and fantasy. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored within literature – youth, adventure, fatherhood – all woven together to create a compelling narrative. This print invites us to embark on an imaginative journey through Carroll's fairy tale world as we contemplate the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a testament to Tenniel's mastery as an illustrator and Carroll's enduring legacy as one of literature's greatest storytellers.
