Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
Most people know Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, for his Alice In Wonderland and other related stories. Some people even know him as a mathmetician. What many people don't know is that he was also an avid and accomplished amateur photographer, using a very early form of photography called the wet-plate collodion process.
Among his many photographic subjects, one of his favorites was the real life inspiration for his famous Alice stories (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass), Alice Liddell. Following are some samples of his work, some of which include Alice's sisters as well.
