www.whitbymuseum.org.uk/whats-on
Wednesday 18 March at 2pm:
Lewis Carroll: photographer of Victorian celebrities (including the Pre-Raphaelites) and of notable Whitby families.
A few of the men and women who had personal or creative significance for Carroll, and with examples of why Carroll was retrospectively called ‘the most outstanding photographer of children in the nineteenth century’.
Friday 20 March at 5.45pm:
Once Upon a Time in Oxford (and Whitby): the Origins of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland.
Carroll’s earliest published work – long before Alice – was inspired by Whitby. It was a place he revisited many times, as too did John Tenniel’s fellow Punch illustrator and Carroll acquaintance, George Du Maurier.
