White Rabbit, dressed as herald, blowing trumpet more
alice, rabbits, heraldry, trumpets, musical instruments, christmas, illustrations for children
near the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the other
. . .
‘Herald, read the accusation!’ said the King.
On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet, and then unrolled the parchment scroll, and read as follows:—
‘The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
All on a summer day:
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,
And took them quite away!’
‘Consider your verdict,’ the King said to the jury.
The white rabbit is wearing a tabard decorated with hearts from playing cards, and has a white ruff around his neck.
The engraving is signed Dalziel (for the engraver) and JT for the artist.
