Lewis Carroll is of course not best known for his photography, but rather as a writer, especially his book Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland. He was, however, an avid amateur photographer. One of his favorite subjects was children. He has left us a
wonderful record of late 19th century children's clothing. Most of his photogrph were of girls, but he also left some interesting
images of boys showing interesting outfits.
