Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was a man of many talents and interests. From capturing whimsical scenes at The Mad Hatters Tea Party to photographing Lorina and Alice Liddell in Chinese Dress, Dodgson's artistic prowess knew no bounds. In 1863, he even had the opportunity to immortalize Dante Gabriel Rossetti through a captivating black and white photo. But it wasn't just famous figures that caught Dodgson's lens; he also captured the essence of everyday life with portraits like Charles (Robin) Langton Clarke and Margaret Frances Langton Clarke. Dodgson's creativity extended beyond photography as well. In an untitled piece from 1864, possibly featuring Alice Gertrude Langton Clarke, we catch a glimpse of his talent for drawing. And let's not forget about his connection to religion – Reverend James Langton Clark and son Charles (Robin) were subjects of some of his most striking photographs. Throughout September 1864, Dodgson continued to document moments in time with Margaret Frances Langton Clarke as his muse. His ability to capture her beauty is truly remarkable. But perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of Dodgson's life lies in the mystery behind an inscription on the back of a carte de visite photograph dedicated to Agnes. What secrets could this message hold? And who can forget The Duchess? With its intricate details depicted through pen and brown ink strokes circa 1865, this piece showcases Dodgson's imaginative mind at work. Through these glimpses into his world – both behind the camera lens and within his own self-portraits – we begin to understand why Lewis Carroll remains an enigmatic figure in history. His legacy lives on through these captivating images that continue to inspire generations today.
