Dodgson provided his own illustrations to the books, but while the type was being set, he was persuaded to employ a more competent draughtsman. John Tenniel (1821-1914), who already had received high praise for his illustrations to Thomas Moore's Lalla Rookh (1861), was chosen for the task. Dodgson provided such specific instructions for Tenniel that their working relationship became strained. The resulting illustrations, however, proved a success. They were engraved on wood by the Dalziel Brothers, who ran the most important wood-engraving workshop of the time." />
