DODGSON (CHARLES LUTWIDGE) "LEWIS CARROLL"
Footnotes
THE ONLY KNOWN SURVIVING PRINT OF ONE OF DODGSON'S LAST PHOTOGRAPHS, a full-length photograph of Evelyn Hatch (1871-1951), one of the three daughters of Dodgson's acquaintance Edwin Hatch (vice-principal of St Mary Hall, Oxford), whom he photographed on a number of occasions. Inscribed to the child sitter's mother "from the Artist", the photograph was taken in Dodgson's Christ Church rooftop studio in Tom Quad on 15 June 1880, Dodgson recording in his diary for that day "Mrs Hatch brought Evelyn, of whom I took two photos in a spotted dress...".

Exhibited: Christ Church, Lewis Carroll Centenary Exhibition, July-August 1998. "There are innumerable smaller surprises... [including] Dodgson's very last photograph before he inexplicably gave it up..." (Oxford Mail, 27 July 1998).
