Not on view

This illustration for Through the Looking-Glass shows Alice and the White Knight after he has done battle with the Red Knight and claimed Alice as his prisoner. The White Knight, however, proves a rather poor horseman, and Alice must often help him up after his falls, as she is doing here. Newell was one of the most prolific and best-known illustrators of his day. He produced comics as well as illustrations for magazine articles and more than forty books, among them six novelty books, including the parallelogram-shaped Slant Book (1910).
