Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility with word play, logic, and fantasy. The poems "Jabberwocky" and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer, inventor, and Anglican deacon.

In the portrait the famous hero wears a poncho and a beret, the face looks very tired but retains a fierce expression on the face. The pose of this photograph, exactly like the clothing, suggests that this photo is a tribute to another portrait made by Brogi but in 1866, in which Garibaldi poses in the height of his celebrity, dressed in the same South American tradition clothing.
