EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished figure of Reverend Robinson Duckworth (1834-1911), Canon and Sub Dean of Westminster Abbey, in his academic robes and mortar board. The image, taken in the late 1880s, presents Duckworth in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, adding to his air of wisdom and authority. Duckworth's connection to literary history is an intriguing one. He was present during the famous boating expedition on the Isis River near Oxford in 1862, where Lewis Carroll told the story that would later become "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Duckworth's likeness was immortalized in the book as the Duck, adding an amusing touch to his otherwise serious and revered image. The photograph bears the signature of Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Victorian-era portraits or literary memorabilia. The image is a testament to the rich history and intriguing stories that lie within the annals of the past, and serves as a reminder of the connections between the clergy, celebrities, and the literary world during the Victorian era.
