Gernsheim, Lewis Carroll Photographer, pl. 19 for an image of Wycliffe's father Tom Taylor taken in the same setting. In Carroll's diary he refers to this sitting ...The party were Mr. [Tom] Taylor, his wife and sister and Wickliffe (sic), and Ranie (alias Urania) Gordon. I had the cellar as a dark room and the conservatory as a studio, and succeeded in getting some very good portraits. See above, p. 54
