[ Photographs ] Carroll, Lewis Portrait of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Oval albumen print, 9 x 7inches, on the original mount 12 x 10.25 inches, with 8 miniature albumen reproductions of literary and political notables, including Emperor Napoleon, Shakespeare Queen Elizabeth, and Lord Nelson, and with "Lord Tennyson" penciled, in a period hand, on recto. 1857 E2500-3500 A revealing portrait of the poet laureate, this print appears as it does (with its surrounding images), as it was part of a Victorian album. Carroll's photograph has been praised for the fact that it "conveys something of the truculence of this reclusive man [Tennyson]," as opposed to Cameron's later portraits of Tennyson which "are distinguished by their heroic, poetical mood.,.
