"Off with her head!" The infamous words of the Queen of Hearts echo through the whimsical world of Wonderland. Immortalized in literature and art, this enigmatic character continues to captivate our imagination. In John Tenniel's iconic illustration from 1889, we witness Alice standing face-to-face with the Red Queen. The intensity in their eyes hints at a power struggle between two formidable forces. A deck of Goodall & Son Ltd. Playing cards from around 1940 showcases the regal visage of the Queen of Hearts herself. Her stern expression and commanding presence remind us that she is not to be trifled with. Tenniel's portrayal in 1930 brings forth an image that has become synonymous with this tempestuous ruler. With her crown perched atop her head and a scepter held firmly in hand, she exudes authority and dominance. But amidst all her grandeur, there are moments when even the Queen finds herself embroiled in arguments. In another Tenniel masterpiece from 1889, we catch a glimpse of the Cheshire Cat observing as the Red King and Queen engage in a heated dispute. The Court is where true power lies for any monarch, as depicted by Tenniel's work once again in 1889. Here we see both the King and Queen presiding over their subjects, ruling with an iron fist while maintaining an air of elegance. Randolph Caldecott's illustrations from 1880 bring to life scenes involving both the Knave and Tarts stolen by none other than our beloved queen herself. These playful depictions add depth to her character beyond mere tyranny. Lewis Carroll's timeless tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" poses one question: Who stole those tarts? The answer remains elusive but serves as a reminder that even royalty can succumb to temptation or mischief. Through it all, one thing remains certain - quarrels seem never-ending for the Queen of Hearts.
