EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Henry George Liddell: The Man Behind Alice in Wonderland" Henry George Liddell (1811-1898), an esteemed English classical scholar, is depicted in this photograph taken in 1875. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Liddell's profound knowledge of ancient Greek language and literature would lead him to a distinguished career at the University of Oxford. Liddell's academic achievements were not limited to the realm of academia; he was also an ordained Anglican clergyman, reflecting his deep-rooted spiritual beliefs. His dedication to both scholarship and faith would intertwine in an extraordinary way, as it was for his beloved daughter, Alice, that the renowned author Lewis Carroll would create the fantastical world of "Alice in Wonderland." Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a close family friend and frequent visitor to the Liddell household. The young Alice, with her inquisitive nature and vivid imagination, served as the inspiration for the iconic Alice character. Carroll's masterpiece, published in 1865, would captivate readers of all ages with its whimsical tales and unforgettable characters. This photograph of Henry George Liddell offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose influence extended far beyond the hallowed halls of academia. His connection to Alice Liddell and her role in the creation of "Alice in Wonderland" adds an intriguing layer to the history of this timeless work of literature. As we admire this image of Liddell, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of history that lies hidden within the pages of our favorite stories, waiting to be uncovered.
