Created by renowned artist John Tenniel in 1891, this enchanting illustration captures a pivotal moment from the beloved children's tale. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst an anthropomorphic gathering where even fish take on human roles. The Fish Footman stands tall and proud, donning an elaborate livery complete with a wig that adds to his distinguished appearance.
