EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Father William (Father William Eats the Whole Goose"), is a delightful illustration from the beloved classic, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," written by Lewis Carroll and first published on November 26, 1865. The illustration, created by the renowned English illustrator John Tenniel, is a visual representation of a scene from the second chapter of the book, "The Pool of Tears." In the story, Alice encounters Father William and his brother, who are both wearing long grey coats and carrying large bottles labeled "Liquorice and Sherbet." They are sitting at a table, surrounded by an assortment of dishes, including a roasted goose. The brothers are so engrossed in their bottles that they have forgotten to eat, and Alice, ever the curious and hungry character, decides to help herself to the goose. This illustration perfectly captures the whimsical and absurd nature of Carroll's story, with Tenniel's intricate details bringing the characters and their peculiar situation to life. The brothers' expressions of surprise and annoyance as Alice helps herself to their meal add to the humor and playfulness of the scene. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which continues to captivate readers of all ages with its imaginative storytelling and memorable characters. This print is a must-have for any collector of classic literature or for those who appreciate the art of John Tenniel.
