EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Alice Liddell as The Beggar Maid, 1858" showcases the artistic genius of Lewis Carroll. Taken in the 19th century using albumen silver print from a glass negative, this image captures Alice Liddell, the inspiration behind Carroll's iconic literary works - "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass". In this thought-provoking portrait, we see Alice transformed into a beggar maid. With her innocent yet melancholic expression, she embodies both vulnerability and resilience. Carroll's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph; from the intricate folds of Alice's tattered dress to her disheveled hair. The composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for Victorian Britain while also highlighting societal issues such as poverty and inequality. As a child model posing for Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Alice becomes an emblematic figure representing not only herself but all children who have experienced hardship. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Carroll's multifaceted talent as both writer and photographer. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and provoke contemplation on complex themes within society. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable image, they are transported back to an era where imagination reigned supreme and social commentary was subtly woven into visual narratives.
