EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a young boy named Marcus Keane on the 4th of September, 1863. The image was taken by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, and is now part of a private collection. In this portrait, Marcus sits sulkily in a chair, his curly hair falling over his forehead. His Victorian attire adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. Despite his sulking expression, there is an undeniable charm in his pouting lips and downturned eyes. The composition focuses solely on Marcus, leaving no distractions or background details to divert attention from him. This allows viewers to truly appreciate the intricate details captured by Dodgson's lens - every curl in Marcus' hair and every fold in his clothing. A toy can be seen resting on Marcus' lap, perhaps serving as both comfort and distraction during this momentary pause for photography. It offers insight into the playful nature of childhood during that era. Dodgson's skillful use of photography enhances the overall moodiness of the image while also highlighting its timelessness. The absence of color invites viewers to imagine their own interpretation of what shades may have adorned Marcus' world. This portrait serves as a window into history; it immortalizes not only one young boy but also provides us with a glimpse into Victorian-era childhood through its meticulous detail and emotive power.
