This volume includes the following: Fifty full page illustrations Single-sided pages Blank pages at the end of the book to test your coloring implements Due to the thickness of the paper, colored pencils are recommended. Markers may be used, though having a sheet of cardstock or a few pieces of copy paper under the page you are coloring is useful to prevent possible bleed-through onto the next illustration. Each illustration has been digitally and manually "cleaned up" while remaining as true to the original scan as possible, in order to create an enjoyable coloring experience. This volume is part of the Vintage Coloring series of adult coloring books by late nineteenth-early twentieth century artists.

There are many editions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but none to rival The Complete Alice, a gorgeous new gift book celebrating one hundred and fifty years of Alice. In 1865, Macmillan published the first edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, widely acknowledged as one of the most influential children's books of all time. Its equally famous sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872. The Complete Alice brings together Lewis Carroll's two extraordinary stories in a single glorious volume. The original artwork has been lovingly restored. Both texts are complete and unabridged, including the rarely seen "deleted" episode The Wasp in a Wig. Also included is The Story of Alice, an exclusive sixteen-page account of the creation and first publication of Alice, told for younger readers and featuring material from Macmillan's rich historical archive. A foreword from Philip Pullman introduces this truly special gift edition.

cartoonist illustrator graphic humorist
John Tenniel was born on February 28, 1820 at Bayswater, West London to John Baptist Tenniel, a fencing and dancing master.
He educated himself for his career, and although he became a probationer, and then a student, of the Royal Academy, he soon left the schools, where at that time there was little teaching.
In 1845 he contributed a 16-foot cartoon to the competition of designs for mural decoration of the new Palace of Westminster and received £100 and a commission for a fresco in the Upper Waiting Hall (or “Hall of Poets”) in the House of Lords. In 1850 he was invited to succeed Richard Doyle as joint cartoonist with John Leech for Punch, a periodical Tenniel worked on for most of his life. Gradually he took over altogether the weekly drawing of the political “big cut. ” In his drawings for Punch Tenniel lent new dignity to the political cartoon. He retired from Punch in 1901. He illustrated many books; his drawings for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are remarkably subtle and clever and are extremely well-suited to Lewis Carroll’s text. These illustrations won him an international reputation and a continuing audience.
Tenniel is remembered especially as the principal political cartoonist for Punch magazine for over 50 years, and for his illustrations to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
He was knighted for his artistic achievements in 1893.
His most famous cartoon was probably “Dropping the Pilot” (1890), on the subject of Bismarck’s resignation.
