Humpty Dumpty makes a brief appearance in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. This print is one of eight illustrations to the novel produced by Blake, a pioneer of Pop Art. The series was completed in 1970. In 1975, Blake founded the Brotherhood of Ruralists with the artists Graham and Annie Ovenden. The group were particularly interested in exploring the concepts of childhood and its depiction in art, often using images of the fictional Alice as a motif.
