Description: "Hilton Kramer, former art critic of the New York Times, once described British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) as one of the finest portraitists of the nineteenth century—in any medium. Raised in a well-connected and creative family, Cameron led an unconventional life for a woman of the Victorian age. After devoting herself to an artistic and literary salon at her home on the Isle of Wight and raising eleven children, Cameron took up the fairly new art form of photography in her late forties. Over the next fourteen years, she produced more than a thousand images, including romantic pictures of young women and strikingly original—if often controversial—literary illustrations. Her searching portraits of her friends and acquaintances, including such eminent personalities as Alfred Tennyson and Charles Darwin, have been called the world's first close-ups. This biography of Cameron draws on scholarly insights resulting from a thorough documentation of Cameron's surviving prints. It casts new light on the artist's links with the leading cultural figures of her time and on the techniques she used to achieve her distinctive style." -- with a bonus offer-- ., Museum Publications, 2003, 6, Oxford University Press.

Description: "According to one of Julia Margaret Cameron's great-nieces, 'We never knew what Aunt Julia was going to do next, nor did any one else.' This is an accurate summation of the life of the British photographer (1815-1879) , who took up the camera at age forty-eight and made more than a thousand images over the next fourteen years. Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her art through exhibitions and sales, and pursuing the eminent men of her time (Tennyson, Herschel, Carlyle, etc. ) as subjects for her lens. For the first time, all known images by Cameron, one of the most important nineteenth-century artists in any medium, are gathered together in a catalogue raisonne. In addition to a complete catalogue of Cameron's photographs, the book contains information on her photographic experiments and techniques, artistic approach, small-format photographs, albums, commercial strategies, sitters, and sources of inspiration. Also provided is a selected bibliography of all major Cameron publications, a list of exhibitions of her work, and a summary of important Cameron collections worldwide."
