Story

A crowned King of Hearts, marked with a club symbol, faces off against an executioner, while playing card figures and a rabbit gather around the confrontation. The scene is rendered as a black ink lithograph, made in 1891. It illustrates a scene from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The artist, John Tenniel (1820–1914), was a British caricaturist also known for Dropping the Pilot.
