It is my intention in this site to make these images of the Tenniel cartoons readily available as primary source materials to all levels of the educational community, as well as to the public at large.

Each cartoon was scanned at high resolution from original volumes of Punch dating from the years 1860 to 1865. These cartoons, together with their captions and basic identifying information, are in the public domain. This means that they are not subject to copyright restrictions. The digital images of the Tenniel cartoons displayed on this site may be freely copied and used by anyone, for any purpose. The site author’s permission is not required.

You may easily download a JPEG file (scaled at 1024 dpi on the longer side) of any of the Tenniel cartoons from that cartoon's commentary page by following these procedures:

- on a PC, right-mouse button-click on the image, and select "Save Image as...";

- or, on a Mac, click on the image and use your mouse to drag it onto the desktop.

Large TIFF files of the cartoons, suitable for publication, are available on request from the site author; see the contact information below.
