ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Joanna de Morlot Pollock (at the time 9 years old) was the daughter of Charles Edward Pollock, and his second wife Georgina Archibald. In 1865 Charles married his third wife, Amy Menella, daughter of Dodgson's cousin Hassard Hume Dodgson. The author attended the wedding, and recorded a visit to the family on 24 June 1866 in his diary, noting "we saw the pretty little Joanna", later that year (30 July) taking her photograph. By the time of a visit in July 1872 he noted that Joanna had "grown out of all recollection...".
Edward Wakeling notes in Lewis Carroll's Diaries that on 8 December 1871 Dodgson had signed only 100 copies of Through the Looking Glass.
