Title: Reflections in a Looking Glass: A Centennial Celebration of Lewis Carroll, Photographer
Description: New York: Aperture, 1998. 4to. 144 pp. Very Good+. Hard Covers. Yellow cloth boards. Dust Jacket Very Good. In protective wraps. Pages fine. B&W sepia toned plates throughout. A groundbreaking book, the only volume of first-class reproductions of Lewis Carroll's photographs. Published on the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Reflections in a Looking Glass presents Carroll's remarkable photography. Richly illustrated, this important book presents seldom-seen works-most of them formal portraits and staged scenes that combine Carroll's famous childlike sense of play with the Victorian propriety that characterized his age. Richly illustrated with remarkable portraits of Carroll's child friends between 1856-1880, also friends, family and luminaries of the day. Text discusses the role of photography in context with Carroll's vast and diverse creative output. Annotated captions and excerpts from his diaries and other writing. Postscript by Mark Haworth-Booth and Roy Flukinger. Unprecedented collection, some photos never seen before. Index. Bibliog + notes. ISBN 10: 0893817961 ISBN 13: 9780893817961. .
