DODGSON (CHARLES LUTWIDGE) "LEWIS CARROLL"
Footnotes
Harry Taylor (1854-1907) was the son of Julia Margaret Cameron's close friend and neighbour, the writer Henry Taylor. Dodgson had met the Taylors whilst staying on the Isle of Wight in April 1862, writing to his sister that whilst on the beach he came across "a troop of 5 small soldiers... the 2 Tennysons, the 2 Camerons, and Harry Taylor, all between 12 and 7 years old". On 5 September 1862 he visited the Taylors at their home in East Sheen, where he photographed various members of the family including Harry. Taylor was seemingly pleased with the results, writing to Dodgson in October "We are exceedingly obliged to you for all the trouble you have taken... My own liking is for the Harry and the Harry & Una [Harry's sister]. Pray do as you like about distribution" (Wakeling, Diaries, vol. 4, p.140).
A copy of this photograph [Carroll Image IN-0883] is preserved at Princeton in Album [A].II.
