Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, on January 27, 1832. In 1865 he published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland under the name Lewis Carroll. Besides being a famed author, Dodgson gained an additional measure of fame as an amateur photographer. Most of his camera portraits were of children in various costumes and poses, including nude studies; he also did portraits of adults. Apparently because his posing of children was criticized, he abandoned photography in 1880. |
