Patmore (Coventry, 1823-1896). English poet and literary critic. Portrait by Herbert Rose Barraud (1845-1895), 1891, carbon print, head and shoulders portrait on original card mount (from Barraud's series 'Men and Women of the Day'), image 245 x 180 mm, signed and dated presentation inscription from the sitter in black ink to lower mount, 'Revd. C.L. Dodgson, from Coventry Patmore, April 23 1891', a few very faint marks to photograph surface and minor dust-soiling to mount (Quantity: 1) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll English author, poet and mathematician. A nice association item between these two eminent literary figures. Dodgson had been an admirer of the older poet since as early as 1855 when a young Oxford student. It was not until 1890, however, that the two were to meet. Patmore was living in Hastings and so not far from Dodgson during his long annual sojourns in Eastbourne. Dodgson's diaries record their first meeting in October when he stayed for afternoon tea and dinner. Their conversation dwelt upon Tennyson and other eminent writers.
