Richard Anderson:Tenniel’s illustrations show a card or label in the Hatter’s hatband reading “In this style 10/6”. This is the hat’s pricetag, indicative of his trade, and giving the price in pre-decimal British money as ten shillings and six pence (or half a guinea). In decimal money, this would be 52½p.
