Alice Liddell, English model (d. 1934)
Alice Pleasance Hargreaves (née Liddell, ; 4 May 1852 – 16 November 1934), was, in her childhood, an acquaintance and photography subject of Lewis Carroll. One of the stories he told her during a boating trip became the children's classic 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She shared her name with "Alice", the heroine of the story, but scholars disagree about the extent to which the character was based upon her.
