Photo of the week

LEWIS CARROLL - 'Alice Liddell as a beggar-child' 1858

"It (photography) is my one recreation and I think it should be done well"



Alice first heard the story of 'Alice's Adventures Underground' when Carroll and a friend took the three Liddell children rowing. He later wrote it out, dedicated it to her, and published it in 1865. This picture of one of Carroll's favourite child friends, was according to Carroll's nephews and biographer, shown it to Lord Tennyson, who judged it 'the most beautiful photograph he had ever known'.



After looking into the life and work of Lewis Carroll, I got back into reading the 'Alice In Wonderland' books and loved the illustrations in the books so much I made little badges out of them.
