EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic Lewis Carroll, known for his timeless literary masterpiece "Alice in Wonderland". Taken by the talented Victorian photographer Oscar Gustav Rejlander, this portrait showcases Carroll's multifaceted persona as an English author, mathematician, and photographer. Born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, he adopted the pen name Lewis Carroll to publish his whimsical tale in 1865. In this mesmerizing image from the 1860s, Carroll exudes an air of mystery and creativity. Dressed impeccably with a polished bow tie and holding a polishing cloth in hand, he appears lost in thought amidst a nursery setting. The vertical composition adds to the sense of elegance and sophistication that defined the Victorian era. Carroll's contribution to literature is unparalleled as he crafted fantastical fairy tales that continue to captivate readers across generations. His poetic rhymes and absurd narratives have become synonymous with childhood wonderment. This photograph not only immortalizes him but also serves as a testament to his talent as both an author and photographer. The collodion process used by Rejlander lends a timeless quality to this black and white portrait, emphasizing its historical significance. With meticulous attention to detail, Bridgeman Images has preserved this rare gem from their collection for all admirers of Lewis Carroll's genius.
