Lewis Carroll, Alice Liddell, Summer 1858 “Childhood as we now understand it, as innocent and pure, walled off from adult life […], was perfected side by side with the development of photography. […] it was as if the camera had to be invented in order to document what would soon be lost, childhood itself; and childhood had to be invented in order for the camera to document childhood (a fantasy of innocence) as real. ” Carol Mavor in Picturing Children: Constructions of Childhood between Rousseau and Freud.
