EDITORS COMMENTS
Fisher and Carroll in a Slap-Bang Absurdity, The Lobster," transports us back to the late 19th century and the whimsical world of two literary giants, Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie. The image, captured around 1899, depicts the authors in an absurd and playful scene, each holding a lobster as if it were a prop in a theatrical production. Carroll, known for his iconic works "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," is seen on the left, his expression suggesting a touch of mischief and amusement. He wears a formal suit and a bowler hat, adding an air of respectability to the otherwise bizarre scene. Barrie, the creator of "Peter Pan," is on the right, his face twisted in a grin and his eyes sparkling with laughter. He holds the lobster with both hands, as if ready to perform a magic trick or tell a captivating story. The title of the photograph, "Slap-Bang Absurdity," hints at the nonsensical and unconventional nature of the scene. The lobsters, with their oversized claws and expressive eyes, add an element of surrealism and intrigue. The photograph is a testament to the friendship between these two literary masters, who shared a love for the absurd and the fantastical. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of playfulness and creativity in art and literature, and the power of friendship to inspire and delight." This photograph is a rare and delightful glimpse into the lives of two literary legends, captured in a moment of pure absurdity and playfulness. It is a reminder of the power of friendship and the importance of embracing the whimsical and the fantastical in our lives.
