Reviews
You get what you pay for. This collection of 115 images includes most of Lewis Carroll's most well known portraits of children, scholars, and famous people, as well as a few landscapes and tableaux. The quality of the reproductions is, at best, fair, with excessive contrast and low resolution images compared to the originals or some printed books. A list of all of the illustrations appears at the beginning, but it is very clumsy to try and associate the correct label with each image. Ideally, a caption would appear below the photograph with title, year, subjects, and perhaps a brief description of the interesting details or at least the "who, where, and why" of the photograph. The main advantage of this collection would be portability, and these images might be perfect for the person who wants to study Lewis Carroll on a cell phone.
