Alice Gryphon Mansion Punch Satire Satirical Tenniel Turtle Wonderland
Alice in Blunderland
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical take on Lewis Carroll's beloved character Alice, as depicted in this charming cartoon by John Tenniel, first published in Punch magazine in 1880. In this whimsical illustration, Alice is seen in the company of the Gryphon and the Mansion House Turtle, two iconic characters from Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass." The scene is set in the fantastical world of Blunderland, a place where the ordinary laws of logic and reason are turned upside down. Alice, dressed in her traditional blue and white dress, looks puzzled and slightly alarmed as she clings to the Gryphon's tail, while the Mansion House Turtle, with its top hat and cane, gazes on with a smirk. The cartoon is a clever satire of the popular Alice stories, poking fun at the absurdity and nonsensical nature of the characters and their adventures. Tenniel, a renowned illustrator and long-time collaborator of Carroll, expertly captures the playful spirit of the original tales, while adding a witty and irreverent twist. This illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Alice and her adventures, and a reminder of the rich cultural history of satirical cartoons in the late 19th century. With its charming details and delightful sense of humor, "Alice in Blunderland" continues to captivate and amuse audiences over a century after its creation.
