Fun Facts
The Queen of Hearts is commonly mistaken for the Red Queen who appears in the story's sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, but shares none of her characteristics other than being a queen. The Queen of Hearts is part of the deck of card imagery which is present in the first book while the Red Queen is representative of a red chess piece, as chess is the theme present in the sequel. Many adaptations have mixed the characters, causing much confusion.

today's artist of the day
John TennielIn 1865, John illustrated the first edition of Alice in Wonderland. The edition, released in December of the same year but carrying an 1866 date, was quickly printed and became an instant best-seller, securing Tenniel's lasting fame in the process. His illustrations for both books (through The Looking Glass) have taken their place among the most famous literary illustrations ever made.
Tenniel's illustrations for the 'Alice' books were engraved onto blocks of wood, to be printed in the woodcut process.
In his career Tenniel contributed around 2,300 cartoons, innumerable minor drawings, double-page cartoons for Punch's Almanac. By 1885 he was earning a $7,000 annual salary for his weekly Punch cartoon-- the equivalent of more than $165,000 today. Tenniel was knighted in 1893.
