EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry George Liddell, a prominent British scholar in 1875. The artist behind this masterpiece is Carlo Pellegrini, who beautifully captured the essence of Liddell's scholarly persona. As the Dean of Christchurch at Oxford University, Liddell played a significant role in shaping education and literature during the Victorian era. Liddell's daughter Alice became immortalized as the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's beloved character, Alice in Wonderland. This connection adds an intriguing layer to his already impressive legacy. In this portrait, Liddell stands tall and distinguished, dressed in a traditional academic gown and mortarboard hat. His attire reflects his position as an esteemed member of academia. The black and white color scheme emphasizes both his seriousness and commitment to knowledge. The image also highlights the importance of family ties as it depicts a father proudly posing alongside his daughter Alice. Their bond serves as a testament to Liddell's dedication not only to scholarship but also to fatherhood. As we delve into this nineteenth-century portrayal, we are transported back in time to witness the intellectual prowess and influence that characterized British scholars like Henry George Liddell. Through this print collector's work by Ann Ronan Pictures, we gain insight into an era where education was highly valued and celebrated within society.
