EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a young girl named Xie Kitchin, as she lies on a chaise longue engrossed in her book. The portrait, taken by Lewis Carroll (best known for his literary masterpiece Alice in Wonderland), showcases his talent not only as a writer but also as an accomplished photographer. Xie Kitchin's Victorian dress and delicate features transport us back to a time when innocence and curiosity were cherished virtues. Her relaxed posture on the sofa exudes tranquility, while her focused gaze reveals her deep immersion in the world of literature. It is believed that this image served as inspiration for one of Carroll's most beloved characters - Alice. The albumen print technique used by Carroll adds depth and texture to the photograph, enhancing its timeless quality. Every detail is meticulously captured, from Xie's intricate costume to the soft contours of the chaise longue she reclines upon. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time and capture fleeting moments forever. This particular image serves as both an artistic expression and historical documentation of an era long gone. Bridgeman Images has preserved this precious snapshot into history, allowing us to appreciate Carroll's multifaceted talent beyond his written works. Through Xie Kitchin's portrait, we catch a glimpse into the enchanting world that inspired generations with its whimsy and imagination.
