EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte de visite photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Lewis Carroll, known for his timeless literary works such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Inscribed on the back for Agnes, this personal memento from Carroll himself adds an intriguing layer to the image. Taken around 1878 by an anonymous English photographer, this portrait showcases Carroll in formal attire, exuding a distinguished air. The composition highlights Carroll's profile against an elegant backdrop of interior decoration. His posture is poised and thoughtful, reflecting his creative genius and intellectual depth. The black and white aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this late 19th-century photograph. Seated at a desk with paperwork scattered about, Carroll appears engrossed in his thoughts or perhaps working on one of his imaginative tales. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from his meticulously tailored suit to the carefully arranged furniture surrounding him. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era when photography was still evolving as an art form. It offers us a rare glimpse into the life of Lewis Carroll beyond his renowned literary persona. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the technical skill involved but also invites us to ponder upon the man behind Alice's adventures – Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) himself.
