King Lear Alotting His Kingdom to His Three Daughters, by Julia Margaret Cameron, 1872. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bequest of Maurice B. Sendak, 2012.
---
The Liddells never returned to be photographed by Carroll, but the sisters reappeared a decade later before Julia Cameron’s camera. Alice, Ina, and Edith posed for Cameron’s complicated tableaux vivants as Roman goddesses, literary heroines, and Shakespearean stories. In one photograph that typifies Cameron’s work, Alice and her sisters pose with her husband, Charles Hay Cameron, enacting a scene from King Lear. Charles plays the role of King Lear while the Liddells pose as his three ill-fated daughters, Ina’s index finger poignantly laid on his shoulder while Alice, hair down, fixes her gaze outside of the photograph’s frame, a look echoed by her younger sister Edith.

Dying mountain gorilla Ndakasi in the arms of her Congolese caregiver of 13 years, Andre Bauma l Virunga National Park, Congo(DRC)
Ndakasi, who was rescued by Virunga park rangers at the age of just 2 months old after her troop was massacred by a charcoal mafia, a criminal group involved in the illegal charcoal trade, in 2007. After the massacre, Ndakasi was taken to a rescue center where she first met Bauma, who held her close all night long to keep her warm and comfort her.
"It was Ndakasi's sweet nature and intelligence that helped me to understand the connection between humans and [other] great apes and why we should do everything in our power to protect them," Bauma said, "I am proud to have called Ndakasi my friend. I loved her like a child." more read
