EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, captured by the talented photographer Oscar Gustav Rejlander in 1863, showcases the enigmatic figure of Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). Known for his iconic literary works such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". Carroll was not just a writer but also an accomplished mathematician. This portrait captures him in a pensive mood, perhaps contemplating the intricate arithmetic puzzles that often fascinated him. Rejlander's masterful composition highlights Carroll's intellectual prowess and introspective nature. The play of light and shadow adds depth to this monochromatic image, emphasizing the timeless quality of both subject and art form. With his piercing gaze fixed on something beyond the frame, Carroll exudes an air of mystery that continues to captivate audiences even today. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to 19th century Britain—a time when photography was still in its infancy but already making waves as a powerful medium for capturing human essence. Rejlander's skillful craftsmanship shines through every detail of this photograph, reminding us why he is considered one of the pioneers of early photography. Preserved within the esteemed collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to both Lewis Carroll's enduring legacy and Oscar Gustav Rejlander's artistic genius. It invites us to reflect upon our own fascination with creativity, mathematics, literature, and all things unknown—an invitation that transcends time itself.
