The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematics professor at Oxford better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, often photographed friends\u2019 children outfitted in storybook costumes, playacting the sorts of fantastic scenes that appear in his writing. The model in this photograph, Alexandra \u201cXie\u201d Kitchin, posed more than fifty times over eleven years, frequently for images inspired by literature. The title Carroll gave this work is the refrain of the poem The Lost Doll by the popular Victorian author Charles Kingsley. It tells of a child\u2019s affection for her lost toy, which she finds and dotes on in spite of damage it has suffered. It is unclear whether Xie is meant to recall the girl or her doll, but the emulsion peeling from the edges of the glass negative\u2014which Carroll purposefully retained during printing\u2014frames her obstinance, a visual echo of the dramas played out in childhood imagination.
