¶With the two volumes is an original black-&-white photograph of Ella Monier-Williams, taken by Dodgson. In the photograph, Ella, a little girl of around six years old, is seated on a deep sofa, leaning against one of the arms, facing to the right. The albumen print has been mounted on to card in the style of a carte de visite, and inscribed on the verso, 'Ella Monier Williams, photograph taken by Lewis Carroll'. Ella was the daughter of Monier Monier-Willams, a professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford, with whom Dodgson was acquainted. A loosely inserted photocopied extract from Dodgson's diary, shows that he dined with the professor on May 1st 1866, and noticing his little girl, expressed a wish to photograph her. This he did on the 24th of the month, and several more times over the subsequent few weeks. Another loosely inserted photocopied note, which includes reproductions of two more photographs of Ella taken around the same time, suggests she 'gave him the suggestion for one of his drawings of "Alice"'.
