These are absolutely wonderful! Simple, but with an excellent 'pen feel', great movement and demonstrate a really keen eye for detail & composition. With training, Carroll could have easily been a professional illustrator, not that he would have wanted that, I assume, but the fundamentals are all there.
For me, drawing is truly the 'handwriting' of an artist. So individual, so quirky. The pen doesn't lie.

It is amazing that this work has been preserved!
