Xie" Kitchin with Bucket and Spade, Taken in 1873: A Timeless Moment Captured by Lewis Carroll This photograph, titled "Xie" Kitchin with Bucket and Spade, was taken by the renowned English author and photographer, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, in the year 1873. The image, an albumen print, depicts a young girl named Alexandra Rhoda Kitchin, who was affectionately known as "Xie," as she playfully engages in a seaside activity. The photograph captures a moment of pure joy and innocence as Xie, dressed in a simple white dress and barefoot, focuses her direct gaze at the camera while holding a bucket and spade. The image, a testament to the heritage of the 19th century, transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to ponder the simple pleasures of country life. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of childhood and the joy that can be found in the simplest of things. Xie's body language and expression convey a sense of contentment and playfulness, making this image a timeless treasure. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this rare and precious piece of history in its collection. The image, a reflection of the fashion of the time, showcases the beauty and elegance of a young girl's apparel, as well as the simplicity of beachwear during the 1870s. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and innocence of childhood and the power of a single moment captured in time.
