Lindseth, Jon A
Drawn from the Jon A. Lindseth collection of C.L. Dodgson/Lewis Carroll, this exhibition was in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the death of Lewis Carroll. Publishing over 300 works in his lifetime, Lewis Carroll is best known for the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the sequel Through the Looking Glass. Translations of his work include over 2,000 different editions and printings, and around 500 parodies of Alice have been produced. This exhibition covers all aspects of Carroll's writings. Some chapters include The 1865 Alice; Charles L. Dodgon, Mathematician; Lewis Carroll's Photography; Lewis Carroll, Pre-Raphaelitism and Christina Rossetti; and Charles L. Dodgson and the Theater. The catalogue contains 114 illustrations, many descriptions of books, a brief essay on Dodgson, and notes on contributors. It was designed by Tom Ladyga and printed by Watt Printers.
