Alice, photographed

I don't trust her. Or her. She looks like she's about to get into trouble. And we have other grounds to suspect her, if the photographer's live-fics of her in Wonderland are accurate portrayals. More of the Rev. Dodgson's photos of Alice Liddel here, including some sitting with her two sisters. And if you've ever wondered what she was like as a young woman -- though that's taken by another, for he stopped photographing her at this age.

More of Dodgson's photographs, of children and adults, some of which can be ordered as prints. And to round things off, an article on the question of the questionable practice of specializing in photographing little girls. Personally, I have trouble believing that anyone who could get that many children to pose unaffectedly had anything hinky going on. Children pick up on things.
