Alice Liddell portrait by Lewis Carroll, depicting her as a 'beggar maid'. Alice Liddell (1852-1934) inspired British author Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) to write the novel 'Alice in Wonderland' (1865). Dodgson was a friend of the Liddell family, and told stories for their daughters. Alice persuaded him to write the stories down, but her parents eventually banned Dodgson from seeing her. Dodgson was a noted early portrait photographer, and also took pictures of young girls, including some posing naked. Criticism of this activity led him to give up photography in 1880, and he ordered that his collection of images be burnt on his death. This albumen silver print is from glass negative taken in 1858 by Dodgson, when Alice was aged six.
