Victorian Photographs of Famous Men and Fair Women

A collection of photographs of Victorian men and women by Julia Margaret Cameron. Apart from her portrait studies of friends who included Carlyle, Darwin, Palgrave, Tennyson and Ellen Terry, she also evokes the Pre-Raphaelite idea, whose movement had begun 16 years before she recorded her first successful photograph in 1864. The book includes an account of the photographer by her great-niece, Virginia Woolf, and an analysis of the photographs by Roger Fry.
