TENNIEL, Sir John (1820-1914).?Group of 7 Original Pencil Sketches for?Punch Magazine.?[London: Punch Magazine, ca. 1880s]. Pencil sketches on textured paper on various satirical topics, various characters including: John Bull, Britannia, various royal figures, a wolf-like figure, and a royal figure with a clock face. Each sketch with Tenniel's monogram at the bottom. All matted. Sights range from approximately 8 x 5 ?" to 13 ? x 7 ?". Mat sizes range from approximately 12 x 9" to 18 ? x 13 ?". Toned, foxed, soiled, some occasional fading, some wear to mats. Very good. Tenniel is, of course, most famous for illustrating Lewis Carroll's?Alice in Wonderland?books, creating the look of those characters, all of which are still recognizable today.
