Google pays tribute to the illustrator behind ‘Alice in Wonderland’, honours Sir John Tenniel with a doodle
Childhood
is a time when the creativity and imagination in a child are at an all time
high. Reading novels, listening to fables and devouring books is not only
intellectually stimulating but also a rewarding experience for young kids.
However, nothing fans the flame of fascination in children quite like
illustrations do. The good folks at Google are honouring one of the finest
illustrators of recent times, Sir John Tenniel, with a doodle.
The
doodle is essentially an illustration of a young girl, (Alice, in all
probability) gazing into her ‘Wonderland’.
Sir John Tenniel was born on 28 February 2020 and was
knighted for his work in 1893. Tenniel is remembered for his 50 years as a
political cartoonist with the ‘Punch’ magazine.
The cartoonist studied at the Royal Academy of Arts and had contributed for a 16-foot cartoon to a design competition for mural decoration of the new Palace of Westminster in 1836.
His works have won him a global audience and made him a household name and his legacy continues to be cherished by his admirers for his distinctive style and the timeless nature of his work
