EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual camaraderie between two of the most celebrated figures of the Victorian era: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), the renowned poet and Pre-Raphaelite artist, and Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The image, taken in 1882, finds Rossetti in a reflective mood as he slouches in a chair, his long, unkempt beard framing his gaunt face. Carroll, dressed in a formal hat and suit, sits attentively before him, his hand resting on a book. Rossetti, a central figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his melancholic and sensual paintings, which often featured women with long, flowing hair and expressive eyes. His poetry, which explored themes of love, beauty, and mortality, was deeply influenced by Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy." Carroll, on the other hand, was a master of the absurd and the fantastical. His literary works, including "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," continue to captivate readers with their whimsical characters and imaginative storytelling. Despite their vastly different creative outputs, Rossetti and Carroll shared a deep appreciation for the power of the written and visual word. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into their friendship, revealing two brilliant minds engaged in a thoughtful and intimate conversation. The gloomy, dimly lit room adds to the sense of introspection and contemplation, making this image a fascinating window into the world of these two literary and artistic giants.
