William Penhallow Henderson’s "March Hare" (1915) Costume Design for *Alice in Wonderland* is a fascinating exploration of early 20th-century theatrical art. Henderson, a versatile American artist, was renowned for his contributions to painting, architecture, and design. Born in 1877 in Medford, Massachusetts, he studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and later moved to Chicago, where he became involved in the burgeoning Arts and Crafts Movement.

Henderson's work is characterized by a vivid use of color and a keen attention to detail, both of which are evident in the "March Hare" costume design. This piece was created as part of a larger project for a theatrical production of Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland*. The design captures the whimsical and surreal nature of Carroll's world, blending traditional costume elements with a modernist flair.

Henderson's philosophical approach often intertwined with a deep appreciation for narrative and myth, aiming to convey a sense of wonder and imagination. The "March Hare" design, with its playful lines and dynamic composition, exemplifies these themes. The piece is significant as it reflects the intersection of fine art and theater, showcasing Henderson's innovative spirit. Currently, the original costume design is housed in the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art, a testament to Henderson's lasting influence on American art and design.
