About this title

Synopsis

This work presents a little known side of Lewis Carroll, he was one of the greatest photographers of children of the nineteenth century. Cohen reproduces these portraits, most of them formal and staged scenes that combine his famous childlike sense of play with the Victorian propriety that characterizes his age.

About the Author

Morton N. Cohen, Professor Emeritus of the City University of New York, edited the two-volume The Letters of Lewis Carroll and has written or edited seven other books on Carroll, including Lewis Carroll: A Biography (Knopf, 1995).
