Summary:

"Before becoming a celebrated author of children's books under the pen name Lewis Carroll, Oxford mathematics lecturer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was known as a sophisticated and prolific photographer. This exhibition is the first to present an art-historical analysis of Dodgson's photography -- beautiful and unusual works crafted with a distinctly Victorian sensibility and visual vocabulary.The 76 photographs drawn together for Dreaming in Pictures: The Photography of Lewis Carroll represent Dodgson's images of people, from allegorical and historical tableaux to enigmatic, ethereal portraits of children."
