Julia Margaret Cameron

More about the book

Julia Margaret Cameron, a pioneering photographer who began her career in her late forties, created a unique, softly focused style that was largely unrecognized during her lifetime. This volume features Virginia Woolf's vibrant account of Cameron's life and Roger Fry's groundbreaking scholarly analysis, which elevated her work to an art form. Included are Cameron's autobiographical essay and her only surviving poem, alongside twenty original plates and additional photographs that enhance the understanding of her artistic contributions and the Victorian era. An introduction by Tristram Powell further explores her legacy.
