Repost https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1H1Ljh2QQh/ Victorian photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, was born on this day in 1815.

She chose this portrait as her favourite from all her works.

Having taken up photography at the age of forty-eight, Cameron became a pioneer of photography in the Victorian age. Her works were exclusively portraits and staged tableaux, and, over a 12-year period, she took over 1200 photographs. These included striking portraits of the scientist Sir John Herschel and poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

The subject of this particular photograph is Julia Jackson, Cameron’s niece and god-daughter. Jackson was the mother of writer Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell. She was photographed by Cameron almost fifty times, and was a model for many leading artists, including Edward Burne-Jones.
