What is Sir John Tenniel : aspects of his work about?

This Study Deals With The Early Works Of The Influential Illustrator, Sir John Tenniel, And With The Ways In Which The Great Debate Of The 1840s In Favor Of The Creation Of An English School Of History Painting Manifested Itself In His Art. Indeed, The Historicist Revival Would Be The Driving Force Behind Virtually All Of His Artwork Throughout The Whole Of His Life, Including The Work By Which He Is Best Known, His Illustrations For Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland And Through The Looking Glass. But Tenniel's Long Career Was Also A Struggle Between His Responsiveness To Popular Taste And His Sympathy With Views On Art That Condemned That Taste And Sought To Reform It. He Was Drawn To The Bohemian Cliques Of The 1840s, Which Were Instrumental In The Attempt To Resurrect A School Of English History Painting. He Played A Relatively Successful And Prominent Role In The Focus Of That Movement, The Decoration Of The New Houses Of Parliament. That Project And His Work For It Raise A Number Of Serious Questions Of Ongoing Significance - Concerning The Need For State Patronage Of Art, The Possibility Of Imposing Foreign Forms Upon An Unresponsive Public, And The Plausibility Of The Idea
