EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait was captured in 1857 by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. The photograph, a rare and intriguing glimpse into the mind of this literary genius, is a testament to Carroll's innovative approach to both storytelling and photography. At the time of this image, Carroll was in his mid-twenties, a budding author and mathematician, and an avid photographer. His self-portrait showcases his intellectual curiosity and playful nature, as he gazes introspectively into the camera lens with a mischievous smile. The photograph was taken using the wet collodion process, a popular photographic technique during the mid-19th century. Carroll's self-portrait is a unique blend of art and science, reflecting his diverse talents. His innovative use of photography, combined with his literary prowess, would later culminate in his most famous works, including "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass." This self-portrait offers a glimpse into the mind of a man who would go on to captivate the imaginations of generations with his whimsical stories and unforgettable characters. It serves as a reminder of Carroll's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in both literature and photography.
