EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the esteemed figure of Henry George Liddell, a prominent British Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. As the dean of Christ Church from 1855 to 1891, Liddell left an indelible mark on academia and history. His influence extended beyond his role as an academic leader, as he also served as the headmaster of Westminster School from 1846 to 1855. It was during his time at Christ Church that Liddell formed a close friendship with Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. This connection would prove significant in both their lives, with Liddell becoming a major influence on Carroll's work. The renowned author is best known for creating the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland. The portrait captures Liddell's dignified presence and intellectual prowess, reflecting his profound impact on education and scholarship in the nineteenth century. Published by T. Fisher Unwin in London and featured in "Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll" by Stuart Dodson Collingwood (1898), this engraving serves as a testament to Liddell's enduring legacy. Bridgeman Images' print allows us to appreciate this historical artifact while honoring two remarkable individuals who shaped literature and academia during their lifetimes – Henry George Liddell and Lewis Carroll.
