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.
