EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Edith Liddell Seated Beside a Vase of Foxgloves, 1860". Lewis Carroll transports us to the enchanting world of Alice in Wonderland. Taken in the 19th century using albumen silver print from a glass negative, this image showcases Carroll's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of Victorian beauty. Seated gracefully beside a vase overflowing with delicate foxgloves, young Edith Liddell exudes innocence and charm. Her youthful presence is juxtaposed against the intricate details of her surroundings - each petal meticulously captured by Carroll's lens. The foxglove flowers themselves hold symbolic significance as they are known for their association with digitalis, a plant used medicinally during that era. Carroll's composition creates an ethereal vignette where nature meets literature. As we gaze upon Edith's portrait, we can almost hear whispers from Wonderland itself. This photograph not only immortalizes Edith but also serves as a testament to Carroll's deep connection with his subjects and his mastery in capturing their essence. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. It reminds us of the timeless allure found within photography and its power to transport us into different worlds through one single frame.
