Cartoonist Cravat Illustrator Moustache Punch Signature Signed Tenniel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sir John Tenniel (1820-1884) in his late middle age, showcasing the distinguished features and artistic brilliance that made him a renowned book illustrator and Punch political cartoonist. The image, taken around 1880, reveals Tenniel's expressive face, characterized by a thick moustache, a neatly tied cravat, and a pin fastening his collar. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply engaged in his creative process. Sir John Tenniel's illustrious career began in the mid-19th century, and he quickly rose to prominence as one of the most influential illustrators of his time. His collaborations with Lewis Carroll on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" are among his most famous works, bringing the whimsical stories to life with his intricate and imaginative illustrations. In addition to his work in books, Tenniel was also a prolific Punch political cartoonist, using his art to comment on the social and political issues of the day. His incisive wit and keen observational skills made his cartoons a must-read for many Victorians, and his influence on the medium is still felt today. This photograph, signed by Tenniel himself, is a rare and valuable glimpse into the life of a man who shaped the literary and artistic landscape of the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the lasting impact of his work on the world of illustration and political satire.
