I don't think you realize that nudity wasn't seeing the same way as it was nowadays back then. Nudity actually used to be seen as a sign of purity especially in children. Plus he had her parents consent. So pictures like that weren't unnormal. Not to mention it was actually rumored that he was trying to get with her mother. Which is why he wasn't allowed to see anyone in the family.

[@Djkdraws]

Lewis Carroll was actually pretty tame for the Victorians in terms of child nudity, back then it was not a faux pas to photograph children in that manner but rather a depiction of the innocence of childhood

​@righthandstep5 If someone stated a point, common practice is to rebute it with actual words if you do not agree with it. If you just made a face at someone in real life like that, the person who would actually be seen as the juvenile idiot would be none other than you, mostly no offense.

I read somewhere that he was actually sleeping around with a lot of other men's wives, but since polygamous relationships were frowned upon, someone started a rumor that "he just really loves the children!" as a cover story. Somehow, being obsessed with young girls was more acceptable than sleeping with a married woman at the time.

Actually the real reason why they might have cut ties with the author was most likely because he still a kiss from Alice's oldest sister and wanted to marry her which lives unacceptable. For some reason I don't remember why

[@mxths.x]

This is taken in the context of now but when it was happening it was normal

[@Pissfarttheoverlord]

Nude back then was actually ment to be pure, not like it is now, but asking an 11 year old to marry him is concerning, though he's not the only one who did that, from what I read or heard before, in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is 17-21 years old, and Juliet is at least 12-13 years old, and at school(forgot the people) a at least 30 year old man married a 16-20 year old, and many other people have done this.

[@sindelscat9336]

Romeo was 15 I believe, though his age is unclear

[@Limerant_Evangeline]

Miss- I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think you did your research. Taking photography of n-de children was very common in the Victorian Era. Parents also gave consent and so did the child. On top of that, it was common for parents to send holiday cards with their n-de children in them. It signified purity. It isn’t how you think it is.

This isn’t completely true. Back then photography was new and his passion for it wasn’t “unusual” my grandfather loves photography so is that unusual? And second, times were different then and what’s appropriate now may not have been the same then. He also always asked permission to take the photos. As for the last part, that may have been a joke or just some crazy rumor. If you read this thank you for your time!

[@bisquitting2604]

The pictures were inappropriate, in the era he wrote in, nude pictures of children were put on Christian cards to friends and family to show how the children were growing

[@weirdo4338]

For the photos that’s not 100% true. First off he was friends with the family and asked the parents permission before taking the photos. Also, you can’t be that mad at him for the photo because back in the day people didn’t care about children safety that much. If he was alive today I don’t think he would had made them do inappropriate photos.

[@Unusual_Break]

Times were much different back then, many children were photographed like that so you have to keep that in mind. Its actually more likely that he was into her older sister who was of age but still very young by todays standards. There is evidence to support this. Caroll was not of the social class her mother approved and her virtue couldnt dare be questioned. There are letters supporting this and they created the narrative about him being too affectionate toward Alice to throw off the scent of the older sister. Because she was of age (still incredibly young) it would have been very scandalous and tarnish the Little family name. Ive researched this extensively and there is a yt video about this as well. He also took a full frontal nude photograph of the older sister as a pubescent teen. Which, goes beyond the nude children thing. Small nude children were seen as more like cherubs but a clearly developing teen is very different. This is what myself and many others believe. It was also known he played a "kissing" game with girls the older sisters age. Like many, witty and spunky small children, he did love Alice much in the same way a lot of adults like being around small children like that. Stubborn and funny, spunky little kids.

[@acertifiedhuman448]

I'm 12, and the first fact is a lie. Taking nude pictures of children was "capturing childhood innocence" and there were no wrong intentions behind it. Nowadays, it's considered child pornography, but back then it was the norm, and you could find post cards with them on it.

Yes this is really true, but to kinda set things more into sense, little Alice would get r@ped by her father so that why she got asked to marry him, then everytime she would get r@ped …… she would be in wonderland…. So the “R” in the movie that sticks out a lot stands for that- Also in sleeping beauty, idk if you heard of this but she is “alseep” she is really in a coma….. somewhere in the woods, and the prince, not even the prince, some random guy, r@pes her and gets her pregnant. So she woke from her coma giving birth to the child……. 👺👺 if I’m wrong then please tell me. Or don’t. And yes I liked my own comment 😊😊

The photograph of Alice Liddell she is talking about was a two part photo, one of her dressed like a rich girl, and the other a poor girl while in the same location to make a point about class. Also about the rumor, some people think he proposed to Alice, some think it was to Lorina Liddell and some think he proposed to the Liddell's Governess. Not to mention the many other theories about it. And last but not least when Alice Liddell was 18 she saw Lewis Carroll (his real name being Charles Dodgson) a last time for another photograph.
