Untitled (possibly Alice Gertrude Langton Clarke) 1864

This untitled photograph, taken by the renowned author Lewis Carroll in 1864, depicts a young girl asleep in a wicker bassinet. The image is notable for its intimate and candid portrayal of childhood innocence, capturing the child in a moment of peaceful slumber. The soft focus and slightly blurred details suggest a sense of gentle nostalgia. This photograph is a testament to Carroll's multifaceted talent and enduring legacy as a master of storytelling and visual art. It is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
