Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Ruskin NPG P50

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll and Ruskin never developed a close relationship but Carroll did ask for his opinion on occasion and, on 3 June 1875, persuaded him 'with some difficulty' to sit for this photograph. The resulting portrait is somewhat strained and awkward but remains an interesting record of their acquaintance.
