- From one of most renowned and prolific photographers in the Victorian era
Lewis Carroll, pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, is best know for his Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass stories. Less well-known is that he was one of the most renowned and prolific photographers in the Victorian era. In Lewis Carroll, Higonnet (Pictures of Innocence) provides an overview, not only of Carroll's photography, but also of the subjects, Carroll's relationships with them (especially with Alice Liddell) and interpretation of the photos. Most of the photos are portraits of Carroll's family, friends, and occasional Victorian personalities like Alfred Lord Tennyson. There are also some still-lifes, landscapes, and some almost humorous pictures that are out of place in Victorian photos, but coming from the person who wrote Alice in Wonderland, should be expected. A book for fans of photography history or portraits.
