Antique print - Wonderful Red and White Knights Fighting Over Alice 1916 John Tenniel
Beautiful early printing of the original illustrations from a rare edition of John Tenniel's Alice in Wonderland.

A wonderful image of the Red and White Knights fighting over Alice...

At this moment her thoughts were interrupted by a loud shouting of `Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!' and a Knight, dressed in crimson armour, came galloping down upon her, brandishing a great club. Just as he reached her, the horse stopped suddenly: `You're my prisoner!' the Knight cried, as he tumbled off his horse.
Startled as she was, Alice was more frightened for him than for herself at the moment, and watched him with some anxiety as he mounted again. As soon as he was comfortably in the saddle, he began once more `You're my -' but here another voice broke in `Ahoy! Ahoy! Check!' and Alice looked round in some surprise for the new enemy.
This time it was a White Knight. He drew up at Alice's side, and tumbled off his horse just as the Red Knight had done: then he got on again, and the two Knights sat and looked at each other for some time without speaking. Alice looked from one to the other in some bewilderment.
`She's my prisoner, you know!' the Red Knight said at last.
`Yes, but then I came and rescued her!' the White Knight replied.

A lovely period illustration.

This print would be lovely for a child's nursery
