Description:
Danish photographer Sophus Williams (1835-1900) took this photograph of George Eliot in Germany, sometime between 1854 and 1855. Eliot and George Henry Lewes (1817-1878) were travelling in Germany, ostensibly to conduct research for Lewes’s biography of Goethe. After returning to England, the couple lived together in what both called a marriage (GEL 1885, 2: 110).
