Lewis Carroll

b. 27 January 1832; d. 14 January 1898

Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer and brilliant mathematician perhaps best known for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", written in 1865, and "Through the looking glass", written seven years later. He was a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church Oxford, and a clergyman. In his diaries he records that he learned photography by following his uncle, himself a photographer, on expeditions in the mid fifties.
