ULIA MARGARET CAMERON WAS ONE
of the greatest nineteenth-century artists
in any medium. This volume records and
celebrates her remarkable fervor for what
she called the “divine art of photography.” It is the first
publication to reproduce the entire corpus of the more
than twelve hundred photographs she created. The as-
sembled works are a testament to her pioneering achieve
ment, revealing not only vivid flashes of brilliance in
individual images but also a sustained dedication to the
art and activity of picture making over a career that
spanned fourteen years. The value of such a publication
lies inthe juxtaposition ofthe familiar, canonical portraits
of Cameron's most trusted and habitual subjects with
dozens of lesser-known portraits and genre pictures, the
majority of which have never been exhibited or repro-
duced. Even specialists familiar with her work will find
new photographs and information published here. With
Cameron's oeuvre available in one place for the frst time,
this volume provides abundant opportunities for fresh
understandings of the work.
‘The catalogue raisonné is, of course, one of the es-
sential tools of art-historical scholarship, since it fulfills
the basic function of recording and analyzing an artist's
entire production. It is an endeavor that requires of its
authors enormous resources of perseverance, skill, time,
and travel in a process of discovery that commonly takes
years, sometimes even a lifetime, This kind of enterprise
is a labor of love, presenting a challenge met only by the
most committed individuals. Over the past several years
the principal authors of this volume—Julian Cox, assis-
tant curator of photographs atthe J. Paul Getty Museum,
cat. No. 698 Professor [Benjamin] Jowett (detail)
and Colin Ford, founding head of the National Museum
of Photography, Film & Television, Bradford, England —
have undertaken the task of locating, cataloguing, and
interpreting this major body of work. The seeds of the
collaboration were sown in the spring of 1995, when Ford
was visiting Los Angeles and met with Cox, who had just
completed the manuscript for a monograph on Cameron
in the Getty Museum's In Focus series and was prepar-
ing an exhibition of her work from the permanent collec-
tion. The two joined forces to complete the research on
Cameron and her circle that Ford had begun more than
twenty-five years earlier.
Weston Naef, curator of photographs, believed the
special resources of the Getty Museum were well matched
to_a project of this scope and provided the leadership and
support necessary to bring it to fruition. To him I offer
ry sincere thanks and appreciation. On this journey the
authors were joined in partnership by the National Mu-
seum of Photography, Film & Television and its head,
Amanda Nevill, who committed the resources of that in-
stitution and the talents ofits staff, most notably Philippa
‘Wright, to the project over a number of years. To them,
and to the many others who helped assemble this book,
Tam deeply grateful. Above all, I thank and congratulate
Julian Cox and Colin Ford for sharing their study of
Cameron's “divine art.”
Denoran Grisson
Director, The J. Paul Getty Museum
Vice President, The J. Paul Getty TrustPreface
N Sepremper 1986 THE J. Paut
Getty Museum installed, in freshly ap-
pointed galleries at the Villa in Malibu,
the first exhibition drawn from the holdings of a new
curatorial department devoted to photographs, established
by then director John Walsh in July 1984. The fact that
this first exhibition was devoted to the work of Julia
‘Margaret Cameron reflected how high her art figured in
the priorities of the new department. Even before the
present volume, Cameron was the subject of two Getty
‘Museum publications: Waisper of the Muse: The Overstone
Album and Other Photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron
and Julia Margaret Cameron: Photographs from the J. Paul
Getty Museum. The former, published in 1986, was au
thored by Mike Weaver, the latter, which accompanied a
second Cameron show at the Villa in 1996, by Julian Cox.
‘The title of the Getty Museum’s first exhibition and
publication of ts photography collection came from Cam-
cron herself, who inscribed “The Whisper of the Muse
Portrait of G. F. Watts” below a photograph she made of
the painter holding a violin (cat. no. 1086). He was ac~
companied in the picture by Elizabeth and Kate Keown
in the role of muses, the name given by the Grecks to
spirits who were believed to be responsible for inspiring
creativity in poets, musicians, dancers, and scientists
Long before Cameron thought of using photography to
unite her literary and visual imaginings, she wrote her own
prayers and poems; she knew well the challenges posed to
artists by an empty canvas, a blank sheet of paper, or an
unexposed photographie plate.
Genius can be described as an extraordinary capac-
ity for imaginative creation by a person with native intel-
lectual power of an exalted type. It is not to be frivolously
accorded to artists in any medium of expression, but itis
certainly appropriate for Cameron. She was not a passive
mirror reflecting the ideas of others, but was among the
originators of a new attitude to form and content that the
ciight chapters of this book make fully comprehensible for
the first time. Cameron was perceived by her contempo-
raries as having innate creative powers. As early as 1865,
an unsigned article in the July 15 issue of the Mlustrated
London News (see selected references) characterized her
as a unique innovator: “Without any help or instruction
whatever, this lady has succeeded in entirely opening a
field for photography that remained almost a ferra incog-
nita, ... It appears to us equally indisputable that a large
proportion afford a pleasure differing not only in degree,
but wholly in kind, from that to be derived from ordinary
photographs.”
While inspiration is an essential prerequisite for good
art, ideas must be translated into action, and itis easy to
underestimate the amount of time and money required in
the mid-nineteenth century to create single photograph.
Te took hours, not minutes, in an era when every glass
plate had to be prepared from scratch just before the expo-
sure and developed immediately afer. And itis estimated
that each albumen print made from a negative required up
to two hours for exposing, washing, toning, drying, and
‘mounting. A hundred Cameron photographs therefore
represent hundreds of hours of work, all done by hand
and without the assistance of the laborsaving machines
and chemicals that are modern inventions. In addition to
her labor, there were significant out-of-pocket expenses
for the raw materials, including silver and gold. Cameron
did the work herself and often indicated this in writing
below her prints. Perhaps to speed up the process, she
sometimes took shortcuts and broke the rules of good
technical practice with abandon. Despite proclaiming heringenuity, the same Ilustrated London News writer called
some of her work “failures, calculated to injure the lady's
reputation and retard the reception of her principles.”
In 1986 Cameron's photograph The Whisper of the
Muse was understood chiefly through the context in which
it came to the Getty Museum, asa picture that Cameron
had positioned between pages containing The grandmother
(cat. no. 1073) and a portrait of Sir Coutts Lindsay (cat.
no. 709). They had been gathered, along with ro9 other
photographs dating from her first two years, and bound
into an album she presented to Lord Overstone, her chief
financial patron, in August 1865. One of ten such volumes
Cameron created for presentation to people important to
her, this album is peculiar in the specifies of its sequenc~
ing. The artist gives no clue as to why The Whisper of
the Muse is positioned between The grandmother, made at
Freshwater, Isle of Wight, and the portrait of Lindsay,
another of her foremost supporters, which was taken on
the lawn of Little Holland House in London.
This book analytically positions Cameron's photo-
graphs in the context of works related by style, composi~
tion, and date of creation. We therefore find The Whisper
of the Muse positioned adjacent to a variant study of the
same subject housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum,
London (cat. no. 1087). In the London print we see
‘Watts’ head turned to his lef, toward the giel who comes
close to his cheek as though literally to whisper in his ear
The positions of his hands and the violin are also differ-
cnt. In placing the two reproductions side by side for the
first time, we are given insight into Cameron's method of
working with her models, but we must imagine how she
directed the scene to achieve her expressive ends. The two
pictures are quite different in what they communicate
‘The Getty version is the more integrated composition
and is striking for the manner in which Cameron created
a classic pyramid of forms. The London version, however,
even though it is unbalanced, better expresses the idea
of a whisper as stated in the title. We see clearly how the
photographer was obliged to sacrifice one objective in
order to achieve another. Additionally, we learn from the
catalogue entry that just one other print of the Getty
‘Museum's version of the subject is known to survive, in an
album presented to Henry Taylor. We can deduce that
Cameron favored the more unconventional composition,
because she made at least five more prints from that neg-
ative, The position allocated to The Whisper ofthe Muse in
this book effectively places the picture in its larger context
among illustrations of other literary and mythological sub
jects to which itis stylistically and conceptually related.
‘When seen with other pictures ereated under the influ
ence of the written word, it allows us to better appreciate
the ambition of Cameron's reach.
‘Through its commitment to collecting, conserving,
exhibiting, and publishing the more than three hundred
Cameron prints in its collection, the Getty Museum has
endeavored to see her placed high in the pantheon of
photographers. We were inspised in this pursuit by two
people in particular: Samuel Wagstaff, Jr., and Daniel
Wolf, individuals whose taste and commitment helped
shape our holdings of Cameron photographs. To them,
and to the authors of this publication, Julian Cox and
Colin Ford, and their associates, Joanne Lukitsh and
Philippa Wright, we owe a large debt.

PrefaceAcknowledgments
ROM ITS INCEPTION, THIS STUDY
of Julia Margaret Cameron's photo-
graphs has benefited from the expertise,
generosity, goodwill, patience, and support of many indi-
viduals and institutions. A curatorial team dispersed over
‘two continents and three cities has worked for several years
to gather, analyze, and interpret this major body of work.
‘While each of us has drawn on many of the same resources,
visited many of the same collections (sometimes repeat-
edly), and consulted many of the same professional col-
leagues, we have also developed our own networks of
support. It is no small task in these few pages to acknow!-
edge, on behalf of the authors, the wonderful and diverse
forms of assistance for which we are grateful and without
which this publication would be much diminished,
‘The home base for gathering and sorting the photo-
graphs and information contained in this book has been
the Department of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty
‘Museum. Weston Naef, curator, whose commitment to
the study of Cameron's art is passionate and long-
standing, lent his experienced eye, sound guidance, and
enthusiastic support to the successful completion of this
volume. To him we offer our most sincere thanks. Michael
‘Hargraves, research associate, was largely responsible for
compiling the data included in the chronology, selected
exhibitions, and selected references sections. In doing so,
he spent innumerable hours tracking down obscure bibli-
‘graphic sources. His well-honed skills, never-say-die
attitude, and ready wit provided much-needed encourage~
‘ment during the busiest spells in the preparation and pro-
duction ofthis text. The entire staf ofthe department has,
for several years, been accommodating and tolerant of the
authors’ demands on their time. Gordon Baldwin, Judith
Keller, Mika Gee Conway, Anne Lyden, Marisa Nuc-
cio, and Joanna Sullivan have all facilitated our work in a
multitude of ways, ranging from the ready contribution of
expertise to the graceful acceptance of additional respon-
sibilities so that the Cameron work might proceed. All
have contributed in vital ways and are acknowledged with
heartfelt thanks. Former employees of the department who
also deserve our gratitude for providing assistance during
their tenures are Marcia Lowry, Sarah Sullivan, and Tracy
Shields. Over the years we have also been helped immea-
surably by departmental volunteers, and our thanks go to
Elaine Vogel and Ann Sheen Magee for their generosity,
‘goodwill, and humor. Marc Harnly, head of paper con~
servation, and Ernie Mack, assistant conservator, carried
‘out numerous expert treatments on the Getty Museum
photographs included in this volume. Their patience, pro-
ficiency, and keen aesthetic eye ensured the best presenta
tion possible for the work. Lynne Kaneshiro ably assisted
them throughout. We are grateful to them all. Dusan
Stulik, senior scientist at the Getty Conservation Insti-
tute, conducted X-ray fluorescent analysis on a selection
of prints in the Getty Museum collection, which helped
us learn more about Cameron's technique and procedure.
No project can be completed in a large institution,
without the collaboration and involvement of its key
members, We are particularly grateful for the support of
Deborah Gribbon, director, whose vision and appreciation
for photography allowed this project to become a signi-
ficant priority for the Getty Museum. Such ambitious,
time-consuming, and labor-intensive books are rarely
undertaken by museums in this day and age, but Christo-
pher Hudson, publisher, ensured that the costs and com-
plexities of this one would not be an impediment to its
successful completion. We are grateful for his tenacity and
persistence. The publication was nurtured by the careful
attention of Mark Greenberg, editor in chief, and in the
latter stages by Ann Lucke, managing editor. The hand-some design of this volume, so well matched to the beauty
and power of Cameron's photographs, is the work of
Jeffrey Cohen. With sensitivity and aplomb, he applied
his considerable skills to the challenging demands of this
publication, and his dedication to translating Cameron's
spirit and aesthetic is evident on every page. He was
guided throughout by Deenie Yudell, design manager,
whose judgment and flair proved invaluable.
We have had the good fortune to work with two fine
editors, whose valiant efforts we acknowledge here. Greg
Dobie’s role in this complex undertaking far exceeded
the typical requirements of an editor. He shouldered the
responsibility for establishing consistency and accuracy
throughout this volume and made significant editorial
contributions to the catalogue entries and the entire back
matter. His irrepressible vitality and impish wit, com-
bined with editorial prowess ofthe first sank, rendered his
contribution indispensable. David Featherstone likewise
worked diligently and effectively to help establish consis~
tency among the various authorial voices and give shape
and balance to the text. We are extremely grateful to them
both.
Under the able direction of Karen Schmidt, produe-
tion manager, Stacy Miyagawa, production coordinator,
brought her experienced eye and judicious judgment to
the artful construction of this book. Handling a diverse
array of photographic materials from more than seventy-
five collections, she has been able to achieve the very
highest standards of reproduction. She also demonstrated
tremendous ingenuity in keeping this multifaceted proj-
ect on schedule, The photo services staff of the Getty
Museum went to extraordinary lengths to produce trans
parencies and prints of the highest order. Our thanks go
to Christopher Foster, Ellen Rosenbery, Jack Ross, and the
late Charles Passela, Rebecca Vera-Martinez lent her first-
rate printing skills to a variety of materials and produced
consistently outstanding results. Excellent administrative
support was provided by Amy Fisk and Susanne Winter-
hawk, to whom we express our sincere thanks. In the
department of digital imaging, Nehemiah Chus, Gary
Hughes, and Michael! Smith, under the expert guidance
of Carol Hernandez, worked wonders in the seanning and
‘manipulation of selected image materials used in this
publication, We would also like to thank Brenda Smith
for her consistently good-natured and helpful response t0
our many requests for this work. In the department of
information systems, Jainine Mays and Brenda Podemski
deserve our great appreciation for their craft and inno-
vation in designing and maintaining the database used to
gather and analyze the information that forms the heart
of each entry in the catalogue section. Catherine Hess,
associate curator of sculpture and works of art, provided
useful insights on possible sources for Cameron's life-size
portraits of 1866 and 1867, The staff of the Getty Research
Institute provided essential and sustained support over
our several years of research. Mark Henderson and Beth
Guynn cheerfully accommodated our many requests to
consult materials in the special collections department. In
circulation, we would like to thank Judy Edwards, Jay
Gam, Ross Garcia, and Amelia Wong, all of whom helped
track down bibliographic references and secure rare pub-
lications available only through interlibrary loan.
‘The National Museum of Photography, Film &
Television, Bradford, England, has been the Getty
Museum's principal institutional partner in this cata-
logue, and the authors are deeply grateful to Amanda
Nevill, head of the museum, for enthusiastically support-
ing the project and making it possible for members of her
staff to work on it. From the outset, Mary Murphy, head
of collections, labored tirelessly to define the terms of the
Acknowledgmentscollaboration and to provide practical and logistical sup-
port. We are especially indebted to Rob Cox, head of stu-
dios, and Paul Thompson, photographic officer, for the
high quality of the reproductions they supplied for the
catalogue. They traveled to a number of collections and
secured excellent reproductions, often working under far~
from-ideal conditions. Colin Harding, curator, photo-
graphic technology, supported the authors with his
expertise on historical processes and photographic tech-
nology. Sincere thanks are also offered to the following
colleagues at Bradford who contributed valuable assis-
tance, information, and advice: Barbara Binder, Toni
Booth, Paul Goodman, Greg Hobson, Brian Liddy,
Russell Roberts, and John Trenouth.
“The authors have the distinct pleasure to be able to
thank the core members of the team responsible for this
publication. Philippa Wright, assistant curator of photo-
graphs at the National Museum of Photography, Film &
Television, deserves our sincere appreciation for her
dedication and skill in cataloguing and organizing infor-
mation gathered from numerous collections throughout
the United Kingdom, Her commitment to the project and
its many requirements was unstinting. She handled all
with grace and alacrity. The interest and enthusiasm that
she showed for Cameron's small-format photographs
added a new dimension to the catalogue entries and
resulted in the concise essay that appears in this volume.
Joanne Lukitsh, associate professor in the Department of
Critical Studies at the Massachusetts College of Art,
Boston, enhanced the project considerably with her keen
knowledge of the subject. During a visit to the Getty
‘Museum in the summer of 2001, she worked intensively
with Julian Cox to establish the structure and sequence of
the catalogue section. Her contribution during this visit
was invaluable and in keeping with her long-standing
devotion to improving and expanding scholarship on this
artist. Her essay in this volume represents that ambition,
‘examining most convincingly Cameron’ earliest experi-
ences with photography.
During the process of gathering and organizing the
information contained in this catalogue, those institu-
tions endowed with important holdings of Cameron pho
tographs hosted repeated visits from the authors. Not
only have they borne our demanding presence with good
humor, their staffs have cheerfully responded to our
numerous follow-up requests for information. By facili
tating large photographic orders, answering last-minute
e-mail inquiries, and verifying inscriptions, stamps, and
other miscellaneous details, they made substantial contri-
butions of their time, expertise, and facilites in support

surably by granting access to works in their collections and
by supplying information and photogeaphs. Michael and
Jane Wilson deserve special thanks for permitting us
extensive access to their extraordinary holdings. Violet
Hamilton, their curator, accommodated our numerous
requests with magnanimity and was equally generous in
sharing with us her extensive knowledge of Cameron's
life and art, We also very gratefully acknowledge the

There are several individuals who have assisted us
in a variety of ways by sharing research and. providing
information, and in the process they have stimulated our
thinking as we worked on this book. Particular recogni-
tion must be given to the following individuals, who were
especially generous with their time and expertise. Stephen
Berkman, photographer and educator, and Mark Oster
‘man, photographic process historian in the advanced res-
idency program at the George Eastman House, Rochester,
provided abundant technical information on Cameron's
‘working methods, including step-by-step demonstrations
of the wet-collodion process. Their extensive knowledge
of nineteenth-century photographic practice deepenedour understanding of and appreciation for the virtuosity
of Cameron’ technical approach. Abby Freedman, writer
and filmmaker, shared several invaluable insights from
her many years of research on Cameron's life and art. Vie~
toria C, Olsen, independent scholar, willingly offered
information and resources pertaining to her forthcoming
biography of Cameron, which promises to be indispens~
able. Roger Taylor, independent scholar, provided access
to his encyclopedic library of nineteenth-century books
and periodicals, Not only did he supply numerous valu-
able leads for our research, his tough-minded, exacting
scholarship proved him to be the ideal sounding board for
many aspects of this project. His friendship and support
were absolutely invaluable. Sylvia Wolf, Sondra Gilman
Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum of
American Art, inspired us with the exceptional quality of
her 1998 exhibition and publication, Julia Margaret Cam-
cron Women, and was graceful and generous in sharing
information and knowledge gained from that important
project. So, too, were Brian Hinton, archivist and secre-
tary to the Julia Margaret Cameron Trust, John Beau-
‘mont, and the late John Feakins, who have done such
valuable and pioneering work for the trust’s research
group. Pam Roberts, curator of the Royal Photographic
Society collection for most of the period during which
this catalogue was being prepared (before the collection
‘was transferred to the National Museum of Photography,
Film & Television), gave frely of her deep understanding.
and knowledge of Cameron's work and made it possible
for us to pay repeated visits to the world’s largest collec
tion of Cameron prints at a time when it can only have
caused her considerable personal inconvenience. Richard
‘Mangan, of the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collec-
tion, London, was enormously helpful in answering ques-
tions about nineteenth-century theater history. Jonathan
Miller shared his extensive knowledge of phrenology.
We would also like to thank the following individuals for

N A VIBRANT CAREER THAT FLOUR-
ished for little more than a decade, Julia
Margaret Cameron created a body of
‘work that stands among the finest achievements of the
photographic art. What distinguishes her from other
privileged men and women who took up the medium in
its early years are the single-minded intensity and idealism
that she brought to the craft. Armed with an iron will and
irrepressible zeal, Cameron excelled in an art form in
which it was virtually impossible for Victorian women
to achieve recognition. Largely self-taught, she made
photographs that were intended to transcend appear-
ances and speak directly to the human spirit. Her pictures
were bold in scale and revolutionary in design, and they
made an ambitious claim for photography. The 1,225 pho-
tographs in the catalogue section of this book reveal the
breadth of her expression in a creative odyssey that began
in 1864 on the Isle of Wight, off the southern coast of
England, and ended with her death in 1879 in the hills of
western Ceylon.!
‘Cameron's accomplishment has generated a body of
literature and commentary awarded few other photog-
zaphers of the nineteenth century and has inspired sue~
cessive generations of writers and historians. Beginning
with Virginia Woolf and Roger Fry's 1926 publication
Victorian Photographs of Famous Men and Fair Women?
and progressing to Helmut Gernsheim’s 1948 mono-
graph, Cameron's portraits in particular have been sin-
gled out as deserving serious critical attention. Fry was
so impressed by Cameron's work and the implications
that it held for the potential of photography as an artform
that he concluded his essay in Victorian Photographs thus:
car. No. 307 [May Prinsep] (detail)
“One day we may hope that the National Portrait Gallery
will be deprived of so large a part of its grant that it will
tum to fostering the art of photography and will rely on.
its results for its records instead of buying acres of canvas
at great expense by fashionable practitioners in paint.”*
‘A year after Woolf and Fry's book was published,
the Royal Photographic Society in London mounted an
exhibition of 120 Cameron photographs (see selected
exhibitions). More than forty years of quietude in Cam-
exon scholarship elapsed until 1971, when the British
photographer and filmmaker Tristram Powell installed an
exhibition of 84 Cameron photographs at Leighton House
in London’ that was associated with his revised and en-
larged edition of Victorian Photographs (1973); he also
directed a television film about the photographer for the
BBC. All this attention reawakened a widespread interest
in Cameron's work.
In 1974 the descendants of Sir John Herschel, one of
Cameron's most eminent friends and sitters, decided to
sell the exceptional album of 94 photographs that she had
presented to him on November 26,1864, and that had been
in the Herschel family for a century.* When the album
sold at auction to an American for a then record price of
£32,000, the event generated the world’s first campaign by
an art museum to enlist public support to purchase his-
torie photographs and retain a nation’s heritage within its
borders. The cost of its acquisition was raised, and the
album—one of Cameron’ finest—was secured for the
tional Portrait Gallery. The effort to purchase the
Herschel Album was supported by more than four thou-
sand institutions, corporations, and individuals, and the
album became the first work of photographic art to bedenied an export license by Britains Reviewing Commit-
tee on the Export of Works of Art.’ When the National
‘Museum of Photography, Film & Television, Bradford,
‘was founded in 1983, the Herschel Album was transferred
gratis to that institution.
Ifthe National Portrait Gallery had not quite realized
Roger Fry's ambition, in acquiring the Herschel Album
it had certainly embraced historical photographs with
enthusiasm, In November 1975 the institution mounted a
well-received exhibition and published both a guide, Tbe
Herschel Album, and an accompanying book, The Cameron
Collecion.* During the exhibition, Helmut Gernsheim’s
pioneering monograph was republished in a revised form,
and Gernsheim himself visited Britain to lecture at the
gallery. More recent interpretations of Cameron's ocuvre
by Mike Weaver,’ Joanne Lukitsh,!® and Sylvia Wolf"
have considerably deepened our understanding of Cam~
eron’s achievement, However, less than 40 percent of
her total output has been reproduced in the literature in
the last twenty-five years, and much of what has been
assumed and written about the artist has oceurred with-
out knowledge of the complete body of work. Our pur-
pose in this catalogue has been to assemble and present
the full scope of her photographie production. These
images are the visual evidence of her life's work, the
physical facts of Cameron's contribution to the history
of the medium. Precedence has been given to the pho-
tographs as objects, rather than attempting to provide the
last word on the artist and her biography, although the
essay “Geniuses, Poets, and Painters: The World of Julia
Margaret Cameron’ provides a sketch ofthe essential facts
of her life. Perhaps this publication can best be under-
stood as a reunion of a special kind, uniting in one place
a record of objects that have never before coexisted in
this way.
Cameron's own preferences for the classification of
her work provided a useful point of departure for the tax-
‘onomy of this catalogue. In the album she presented to
Lord Overstone (see appendix C), she prepared a hand-
‘written contents page in which she listed the photographs
in three distinct categories: Portraits, Madonna Groups,
and Fancy Subjects for Pictorial Effect (fg. 1). Under
Fancy Subjects, Cameron included photographs with
literary, mythological, and religious themes. In the price
list that accompanied her 1868 exhibition at the German
Gallery in London (see selected exhibitions), the work
wwas arranged under the headings Fancy Subjects (with @
subcategory of Groups), Portraits, and Series of Twelve
Life-Sized Heads of Fancy Subjects (fig. 2)."” Together,
these categories account for a considerable percentage of

Cameron's total production, and they have guided the
structure ofthis book. In order to accommodate the com-
plete oeuvre, we have organized it into eight chapters that
are driven by both subject and a sensitivity to Cameron's
chronology. Each chapter is preceded by a text that intro-
duces the subject, illuminates its relevance in Cameron's
art, and outlines the organizational principles that apply
to the sequence of the pictures that follow.
Each photograph is accompanied by a cataloguing
entry, with information pertaining to the particulars of
the print reproduced and, where applicable, the locations
‘of other surviving examples. The aim has been to produce
entries that are not only informative individually but also
‘meaningful collectively in what they reveal about Camer-
con's practice. This information was assembled over sev-
eral years by the two principal authors and with the
invaluable assistance of Philippa Wright, while she con-
ducted her own research on Cameron's small-format pho-
tographs. As one of the most written-about artists in the
history of photography, Cameron has also been one of the
most assiduously collected, by individuals and public
institutions as well as by foundations and corporations
Every attempt has been made to locate Cameron photo-
_graphs in these collections.16.2 Mrs. Camerons Photographs, Priced Catalogue, 1868,

Examining and identifying the works themselves
‘was imperative, and where possible the authors have en-
deavored to do so. The research process involved visiting
and obtaining information from more than one hundred
collections, mostly dispersed between the United King-
dom and the United States, but also in France, Germany,
the Netherlands, Sweden, Israel, Japan, and Australia (see
collection abbreviations and appendix D). More than 90
percent of the photographs in this volume were examined
and catalogued in person by the principal authors and
Wright. Meeting with museum colleagues, dealers, and
individual collectors and owners, of course, yielded many
benefits beyond what we could learn about the photo-
‘graphs themselves. Of the private collectors contacted,
slightly more than two-thirds responded, although some
declined to share information, In instances where we could
not gain access to pictures that were required for the pub-
lication, additional attempts were made through dealers
and curators to locate other collectors and sources of pho-
tographs. In the case of prints sold through auction houses
{primarily in London and New York) for which no other
examples have been found, it as not always been possible
to establish the identity of the present owners or current
whereabouts of the objects. Reproductions of these works
have been taken from the relevant auction catalogues and
are accompanied by information from those catalogue
entries and the wording ‘present whereabouts unknown.”
‘The photographs are presented in an ordered scheme
that we hope establishes a platform for future scholarship
and interpretation. Works are sequenced as far as possible
in chronological order. When a special relationship exists
between photographs that were perhaps made at different
times, they have been grouped together. Every effort has
been made to place in reasonable proximity images that
are overtly or implicitly related, thereby demonstrating
a hypothetical working process. It is hoped that this,
approach serves to clarify certain hitherto obscure or
unknown relationships between individual pictures. The
arresting, unpublished study of (Bathsheba Brought to
King David] (cat. no. 166), for example, provides some
explanation for Cameron's unusual manipulation of the
negative (cat. no. 164) and trimming of the print (cat.no.
165) in her study of Henry Taylor as King David. Like-
wise, the evocative portraits of Mrs. Keene as The Moun~
tain Nymph Sweet Liberty (cat. no. 335) and Cassiopeia
(cat. no. 339) are surrounded by three additional studies of
the model (cat. nos. 33638) that vivify the context of the
‘making of the two pictures and deepen our understanding
of Cameron's achievement in them.
In most cases the task of sequencing was not dif-
ficult since Cameron worked in distinct series; a quick
survey of any chapter reveals the serial nature of her pro-
duction. The capacity to work in this manner is intrinsic
to the medium of photography—the most practical way

Ccfor a photographer to revise or develop composition is
to make another one. As a consequence, editing is funda~
mental to the photographers art and often entails making
fine distinctions between one picture and another. Evalu-
ating success or failure ater the fact, by either the artist or
the audience, is part of this process. The evidence in this
catalogue suggests that Cameron was engaged in this self-
evaluation to a degree uncommon among her peers. If for
zo other reason, this is why the compilation of a complete
catalogue of all her works seems an essential prerequi-
site for a proper understanding of her achievements.
‘The catalogue includes numerous images that Cam-
cron may have judged as experiments or disappointments,
based on the fact that the works exist in just one or two
examples, but the fact that she did not destroy them
admits them into her oeuvre. Her willingness to engage
in the artist's eternal dialogue of sucess versus failure
has resulted in an extraordinary gift to posterity. In the
assembled sequences, the transformation of the creative
process into a recognizable artistic theme is repeatedly.
evident. A fascinating dialogue emerges between the
unknown Cameron, represented by a multitude of works
that sometimes include disparate pictorial non sequiturs,
and the frequently published and exhibited pictures that
have hitherto prescribed the basis of critical opinion. Most
readers looking at the photographs contained in this cat~
alogue will be struck by the tenacity of Cameron's process
and the persistence with which she approached—and
revisited—her subject matter. By instinct, and in prac
tice, she never made the same picture twice. Cameron was
not a dabbling, hit-and-miss amateur but a dedicated,
serious, and professionally minded artist who worked all
hours to achieve success."? From an 186s letter written to
Walter Senior by Anne Thackeray Ritchie, we know that
“Mrs, Cameron sits up till two o'clock in the morning.
‘over her soaking photographs.” Even though, like many
artists in history, she failed to produce enough income to
rmect all her expenses, it was not through any lack of ded-
ication or hard work. Despite the obvious frustration,
Cameron remained philosophical about her lack of finan
cial suecess: “If one believes as I do in the doctrine of
compensation one soon accepts the evidence that God
gives the material things of this world to some & the spir-
itual & intellectual riches to others & that the combina~
tion of gifts is very uncommon."**
Cameron's repeated investigation of a favored sub-
ject borders on the obsessive, asin, for instance, her more
than fifty single-figure studies of her niece and godchild,
Julia Jackson (cat. nos. 279-333), her thirty-two portraits
of the poet and playwright Henry Taylor (cat. nos. 31~32,
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
76190), and her many variations on the Madonna and
child (cat. nos. 35-95). Viewed as a whole, the value of
these sequences, showing the artist’ sustained investiga~
tion of a theme or sitter, is that they are infinitely reveal-
ing of both the subject and the photographer, and they
invite our reappraisal of the relationship between them.
‘As Cameron once remarked, “the history of the human
face isa book we don't tire of ifwe can get its grand truths
& learn them by heart.”'* She was a formidably single
minded artist, prepared to explore and probe a subject in
search of the elusive grand truths and by repetition
demand that her audience pay attention. Responding to
one of the many studies of her domestic servant Mary
Hillier (cat, nos. 235-72), George Frederic Watts com-
‘mented on Cameron's propensity for working in this way:
“you have had that view of head & identical expression
over & over again, for the purposes of sale repetition will
not do.""” As Watts rightly intimated, Cameron's singu-
lar picture-making strategies and creative methods did
not always endear her work to the picture-buying publi
‘The eight chapters that compose the catalogue sec-
tion of this book are followed by six appendices that con-
tain important contextual and supporting information.
These appendices are as follows:
A. Description of Cameron's practice of
registering her photographs for copyright
at Stationers’ Hall, London
B._ Breakdown of the inscriptions and stamps
that appear on Cameron's photographs,
and a discussion of her business practices
C. Description of ten presentation albums

D. Summary of the principal collections of

and mythological sources for Cameron's
narrative pictures
‘These are followed by a compilation of selected refer~
‘ences, organized chronologically; an enumeration of solo
and group exhibitions; an index of picture ind a
general index.
‘We believe that the long list of scholars who have
written about Cameron's work in the century and a quar-
ter since she died will continue to grow and that her work
is unlikely ever to be ignored agai
after her death and in the decades immediately following
i it was for a period‘World War Il. It is our fervent wish that future authors,
students, and lovers of art photography will benefit from
the collation of prints and evidence that we have presented
here. The catalogue is, of course, incomplete. Right up
10 publication date, hitherto unknown prints continued
to come to light, and this process of discovery is likely to
continue. Cameron was generous in giving away her pho-
tographs to public figures, family, friends, and servants.
Some received what were clearly lesser prints that she
perhaps could not quite bring herself to discard. Other
prints—usually of the most successful images—were
purchased from galleries and exhibitions. Since some of
the owners had no obvious link with the artist, these are
pethaps the most difficult to trace. Although we are fairly
confident that we have recorded all the prints in public
institutions, there are most certainly others remaining in
private hands. We hope that the results of our work will
prompt the discovery of more images, such as, for exam-
ple, Cameron's portrait of the eminent Victorian poet
Christina Rossetti. There is documentation that it was
made, but no print has been located.’ Cameron is also
known to have registered for copyright a significant num~
ber of images for which the prints no longer exist or have
proved impossible to locate (see appendix A). The
authors hope that a healthy percentage of these pictures
will subsequently be identified. Readers of the catalogue
who can fill any of these gaps are urged to contact the
authors at the Getty Museum.
This catalogue represents a suramation of what we
know about Julia Margaret Cameron at the beginning
of the twenty-first century, atthe end of three decades of
close attention to her work by scholars and curators. Who
can say how much more will emerge over the next three
decades? But, as Roger Fry correctly prophesied three-
{quarters of a century ago, "Mrs. Cameron's photographs
already bid fair to outlive most of the works of the artists
‘who were her contemporaries.”

Geniuses, Poets, and Painters:
The World of Julia Margaret Cameron
‘Twenty earnest youths from Clerkenwell are in the shrubbery;
six American professors are in the summer house; the bathroom
is occupied by the Ladies Poetry Circle from Ohio.!
HESE FICTIONAL WORDS, PUT INTO
the mouth of the leading poet of the Vic-
torian age, Alfred Tennyson, are intended
to be comic, coming as they do from a 1923 one-act farce
portraying life in Freshwater—a seaside village on the
Isle of Wight—a half-century earlier. During that pe-
riod, the 1860s and 1870s, Tennyson and his friend Julia
Margaret Cameron lived next door to each other. The
play, Freshwater, was written by Cameron's great-nieve,
the famous Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf, whose
affectionately satirical words convey a surprising truth. As
Queen Victorias poet laureate, which he became in 1850,
“Tennyson was indeed pursued by tourists, lion hunters,
and autograph hounds, whom he tried constantly to
evade. As Cameron put it in a May 25, 1860, letter to her
husband, “the tradesmen cheat him ~ the Visitors look at
him ~ Americans visit him ~ Ladies pester & pursue him
= enthusiasts dun him for a bit of stone off his gate -
‘These things make life a burden and his great soul suffers
from these stings."? Neither Tennyson nor his wife, Emily,
ever quite came to terms with these penalties of fame.
As Tennyson's neighbor, Cameron was naturally a
character in Fresbwater, as were such visitors to their
houses as the children’s author and Oxford don Charles L,
Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and the distinguished portrait
painter George Frederic Watts and his young wife, Ellen
car. wo. 1139 [Group] (detail)
‘Terry, later a celebrated Victorian actress. Cameron's own
personality was theatrically larger than life, and many who
knew her felt that she was always giving a kind of perfor-
mance. Her art was also to develop theatrical elements;
toward the end of her fourteen productive years as a pho-
tographer, each of her compositions would in itself be-
come a dramatic, if not melodramatic, event.
Cameron lived and worked in a period of consider-
able achievement in British visual and written culture, yet
the number of practicing artists was small enough that
most of them knew each other well. Victorian England
‘was tiny country, with a population of only about twenty
million. Tens of thousands more English citizens did not
live in their home country but had gone to be professional
administrators, teachers, lawyers, and doctors in the many
colonies of the still-growing British Empire. Since edu-
cation was only available to those who could afford it, the
number of educated, cultivated people living in Britain
was, by today’s standards, unimaginably small. Many of
this elite lived in London, and even though this had been
Europe's largest city since the late seventeenth century,
most were acquainted with each other.
On this sophisticated and high-achieving stage,
Cameron played a leading role. Given her unusually col-
orful dress and lifestyle, few who encountered her forgot
the experience, and fortunately for posterity, many wroteabout it. This essay, which is intended to set the social
and cultural scene within which Cameron made the ex-
traordinary works listed and illustrated in this catalogue,
uses many of these individuals’ words. As Brian Hill notes
in his entertaining and informative book about Cameron
and her cirele,* no descriptions written more than a cen
tury after an event can paint so vivid a picture as those of
actual eyewitnesses. These descriptions shed considerable
light on Cameron's almost obsessive interest in her work
as well as on how she chose her subjects, where she found
her models, and the dedicated application that lay behind
her most successful results. Seeing her failures and suc~
‘cesses and familiar and unfamiliar images alongside each
other in this publication lays bare the roots of Cameron's
art and helps us to understand it better than ever before,
Surprisingly, the witness whose testimony cannot
bbe quoted so often is Cameron herself. She was, by all,
accounts, a prolific correspondent, as her friend Anne
‘Thackeray Ritchie recorded:
‘Mes Cameron’ correspondence never ceased ~ however
interesting her visitors were and whatever the attractions
‘of the moment might be, She would si at her desk until,
the last moment ofthe dispatch, Then, when the post-
‘man had hurried off, she would send the gardener run-
ning after him with some packet labelled “immediate.”
Soon after, the gardener’s boy would follow pursuing the
gardener with an important postscript, and, finally,
can remember the donkey being harnessed and driven
galloping all the way to Yarmouth, arriving as the post
bags were being closed.S
Una Taylor, daughter of Cameron’ close friend Sir Henry
‘Taylor, thought that “Of her daily letters ~ her journal
intime~by her own desire, none are extant. They, with all
their vivid sympathies and graphic delineations of passing
events and persons, are commemorated only in the in-
junction to consign them to oblivion.Ӣ They were not all
destroyed, of course; the surprising number that survive
are detailed in appendix D. This is still a small percentage
of the thousands of letters Cameron wrote, however, and
they are sometimes difficult to decipher (see fig. 97). Like
‘many other Victorians, she scribbled on seraps of paper,
crossed out words and sentences, and wrote lines at right
angles on top of others.
‘The flavor of Cameron's writing, and something of
her character and mental processes, can be gleaned from
the entirely unpunctuated opening of one of her surviving
letters, written to her friend Jane Senior on June 29, 1865:
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON

India
that ... benighted land
‘lia Margaret and her six sisters, their dark complex-
ions and flashing eyes inherited from their mother's
Tndian geeat-grandmother, were born in India, most in
Calcutta. Julia, the fourth of ten children, was born on
June 11, 1815, a week before the battle of Waterloo and.
‘a quarter-century before photography was announced to
the world in Paris and London. Her father, James Patt,
belonged to a family that, although it could trace its lin~
‘eage back to a seventeenth-century ancestor living in
Chancery Lane, London, had been involved with India
and the East India Company for a hundred years. His
wife, Adeline, was French (her maiden name was de
VE tang). James joined the Indian Civil Service at the age
of fourteen and, by the age of forty, had attained a very
senior position. Of the Pattles’ ten children, only one was
a boy, also named James; he and two of the girls died as
infants.’ The seven surviving sisters, ike the children of
many Europeans in India, were sent back home for the
sake of their health and education. The Pattle girls, all of|
whom could speak Hindustani and French," thus spent
much of their childhood with their maternal grand-
mother, Thérése de 'Etang, in Paris and Versailles. It16. 9 Frank Stone (British, 18001859) Wiliam Makepeace

was there that Julia encountered the first of the many
members of the Victorian world of art and culture who
‘were to play such an important role in her life.
William Makepezce Thackeray (fig. 9), the cele
brated writer and journalist, was also born in India. He
spent much of his younger life in Paris, where in 1832 he
‘was introduced to the Pattle women, for whom he coined
the collective noun Pattledom, He became so fond of one
daughter, Maria—known in the family as Mia but re-
ferred to by Thackeray, at least in writing, as Theodo-
sia!2—that in 1833 he seriously considered proposing to
her. But he believed it would be wrong to marry without
an annual income of a least £700, which he did not have,
and when Maria and Julia returned to India in 1834, his
hopes, ifhe still had any, were dashed.
Later (particularly after the institutionalization of
Isabella, the woman he did marry), Thackeray seems to
have renewed his interest in those Pattle daughters who
were still single—first Sarah, then Louisa, and most ofall
Virginia, OF the latter he wrote, “When she comes into

the room, itis like a beautiful air of Mozart breaking
upon you; when she passes through a ball-room, every-
body turns and asks who is that Princess, that fairy
lady.” He ultimately realized that “She never cared 2/sd
for me." Unsurprisingly perhaps, he seems never to have
been attracted to Julia, who, even asa teenager and young,
woman, was probably the plainest and most eccentric of
the sisters. Years later his daughter Anne told him how
Cameron had accompanied a friend to the railway sta-
tion, carrying a cup of tea and stirring it as she walked
along. “My father, who had known her first as a girl in
Paris, laughed and said: ‘She is quite unchanged."!5
Cameron was soon to meet someone as famous in
the world of science as Thackeray was in the world of let-
ters. Sir John Herschel (fig.10) had enjoyed such a brilliant
Cambridge career that he was elected a fellow of the
Royal Society while still a student. After the death of his
father, Sir William (who was King George III's private
astronomer and discoverer of the planet Uranus and who
is buried in Westminster Abbey next to Sir Isaac New

knighted in 1831, before turing forty. Having completed
Sir William's astronomical survey of the Northern Hemi-
sphere and published the results,!® he decided to go to
South Africa to implement his father’s other unfulfilled
ambition, an astronomical map of the skies of the South
em Hemisphere. In 1833 John built an observatory close
to Table Mountain, near Cape Town, and over the next
four years discovered no less than 202 pairs of nebulae in
Orion, observed the return of Halley's Comet, and made
measurements of solar activity and radiation.””
It was in Cape Town that the Herschels and the
attles met each other. The Pattles, like many Europeans
living and working in India, convalesced from illnesses
in South Africa. Julia, who was caring for her sister Sarah
and Sarah's first son, Henry, traveled there late in 1836,
and she too soon became friendly with the Herschels;
there isa record of her dining at their home, Feldhausen,
Claremont (fg. 12), the following October. Ten years later
she reminded Sir John how much he and Lady Herschel
had helped and supported her: “There is not a sweeter
feeling in the soul I think than that of gratitude and I
never can tell you how I cherish the remembrance of
those friends who brightened my solitary life and cheered
my time of trial when I was sick & desolate at the Cape
‘& amongst them your dear wife.”**
Herschel was to play a significant role in Julia’ life,
being, for instance, the frst to tell her about the invention
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
of photography early in 1839. Years later she wrote that
“From my carliest girlhood I had loved and honoured
him. ... Twas then residing in Caleutta, and scientific
discoveries sent to that then benighted land were water
to the parched lips of the starved, to say nothing of
the blessing of friendship so faithfully evinced.” But in
‘Cape Town she soon met someone else who was to mean
‘even more to her. Charles Hay Cameron (fig. 12), twenty
years her senior, was also in South Africa to recuperate,
probably from the malarial fever that struck so many
Europeans during the Indian monsoon season and had
been particularly bad in 1836. For him, as for so many, this
led to periodic bouts of kidney trouble and diarrhea that
afflicted him for the rest of his life.
‘The seven Patte sisters all made good marriages, six
to suecessful British men in India and one to an English
carl, As their descendant Quentin Bell slyly put it, they
all had “a certain awareness of social possibilities." Julia
‘was no exception, for Charles Cameron would certainly
have been considered an excellent catch, In 1830 he and
Colonel William Colebrooke had been commissioned to
‘write an official report on the judicial establishments and
procedures of Ceylon; it was published two years later.”
Returning to England from that assignment, Cameron
vwas appointed to commissions of enquiry into chari-
ties and the poor laws. In 1834 he successfully applied to
become the first English member of the Indian Law
‘Commission (established in 1833), where he helped Lord16.12. Eden Upton Ells (British 812-1901)

Macaulay write the new Indian Penal Code. He also
served on the Council of Education for Bengal and later
became its president.
Charles and Julia were married in Caleutta in 1838.
“Although he had never been married before, Charles had
fathered a son, born twelve years earlier to a woman
whose name is still unknown. Julia’s closeness to the
Herschels, who had returned to London by then, is
shown by the fact that John Herschel became godfather to
the Camerons’ first child and only girl, also named
Julia, born in December 1838. Indeed, the Herschels
called their own second daughter, born in 1842, Julia,
‘There was nothing remotely unusual in the urge to
marry well. It was difficult, and not altogether respect
able, for middle- and upper-class women in the nineteenth
century to earn a living. They had little or no access to
higher education and were not permitted to work in the
professions. Naturally, even the most prosperous parents
encouraged their daughters to marry for money and higher
social status. As wives, their main duties were to bear
and bring up children and to manage their household and
servants, Some, however, were beginning to complain:
“Why have women passion, intellect, moral activity ~
these three ~ and a place in society where no one of the
three can be exercised?” asked Florence Nightingale in
her 1852 essay Cassandra?
Julia Margaret’s marriage to someone so well placed
certainly ensured that she was not confined to her home,
despite giving birth to six children; within a few years she
and her husband were at the pinnacle of Anglo-Indian
society. Charles sueceeded Lord Macaulay in 1843 as the
only member of the ruling Supreme Council of India who
‘was not an employee of the East India Company. A year
later, the new governor, Sir Henry (later Lord) Hardinge,
took up his duties in Calcutta, leaving his wife in England.
Julia became virtually the official hostess at Government
House. As such, she would have been known to anyone
who was anyone in India; residents and visitors alike
would all have considered her a very important person.
‘The reason the Camerons gave up their very suc~
cessfull Calcutta lives after only five years is not clear,
although Julia later described India as “that... benighted
land” because it was so far from England and English cul-
ture, It is not quite true to say that Charles retired, since
he later made a bid to become governor of Ceylon, but
because of his malarial complications he was to be a semi-
invalid for much of the rest of his life. Perhaps he hoped
that he could live off the income from his coffee planta-
tions in Ceylon. Years later Ritchie certainly believed that
“Mr. Cameron had amassed a considerable fortune while
in India, which he had invested in coffee estates in Cey-
ton."2*In fact, the Camerons were to be short of money
to a greater or lesser extent for the rest of their lives.
‘Today, Ceylon is called Sri Lanka, and its major crop
is tea, which has been grown on the island since 1849. But
coffee was introduced during the Dutch occupation of the
{sland in the seventeenth century; the British, who ruled
Ceylon from 1795 to 1948, made coffee a major crop. By
the time a map of Ceylon's 169 coffee plantations was
published in 1859, one estate in and around Dimbula (also
spelled Dimbola and Dimboola) in the Dikoya Valley was
called Cameron's Land. Itwas the first of the estates that
Cameron hoped would earn enough income to enable
him to live with his family in England. He later added
to his holdings. The Coffee Planters Directory of 1872
showed that he had acquired another large estate,
Rathoongodde, consisting of no less than 2,000 acres, 225
of which were under cultivation
Another possible factor contributing to the Cam-
cerons’ decision to return to England was that they simply
missed their two eldest children, Julia and Eugene, who

‘were staying with their three unmarried Cameron aunts
in Worthing. Julia’s parents had both died in 1845, and
some of her sisters were already back in Britain; the fam-
ily focus was shifting from India to England, Coinciden-
tally, Charles’ illegitimate son was posted to India in
February, and Charles may have seen this as a potential
source of embarrassment. For some or all of these reasons,
the Camerons returned to London in 1848, and after stay~
ing for two months in Lord Lennox’s house in Chesham
Place, Belgrave Square, in London's Mayfair district, they
settled at Ephraim Common in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

family, occasionally the unremitting nature of her ambi-
tions raised eyebrows among her relatives. She was capable
of unexpected and surprising actions that caused conflict
between her roles as mother and artist. In r873, for exam
ple, Cameron's daughter died at age thirty-four. Already a
mother of six like her own mother, Julia Norman suffered
the same fate as countless women of the period and died
in childbirth.” The unlikely proximity of Julias death to
the timing of a major Cameron solo exhibition in 1873,
provoked the ire of her sister Mia, who on November 17,
1873, wrote from Saxonbury to her daughter Julia Jackson:
am indeed distressed to hear of Aunt Julia’ exhibition
1 sh{oulld never of course heard of it —until Herbert
[Fisher] wrote to me abfoultitthe day before yest{erday].
Tean not understand her doing such a thing at such
4 time—She is evidently bent upon carrying it out &
therefore has not mentioned it to any of us for she
knows what we must fel. It grieves me so I can scarcely
‘bear to mention it. It was very good of you to write
‘& remonstrate, Ihave not yet—8I know it will be no
‘good when I do. Had I known when she contemplated
it T might have prevented it but who could have sup-
‘posed that now she w[oul]d have caried out such a
scheme. What poor Charlie wll fel it is easy to under-
stand, It will of course alienate not only his sympathy
‘bu that of many others.
‘This episode illustrates just how deteemined Cameron
was to maintain her status in the world of at and bolster
sales of her photographs.” For someone of Cameron's
background and class, the social conventions surrounding
mourning were such that it was considered quite an
extraordinary action for her to have pursued such a pub-
lic postion forherselfso soon afterher daughter's death."
Despite the controversy within the family the exhibition
received a laudatory review in the Time
If Giotto leaving his lillies and burning skies, Raphael
with his locks flowing beneath his little velvet caps,
Velasquez in chivalrous dignity, shoe ribands, and curled
‘moustachios; Sit Anthony [Van Dyck] in his big lace
collar, and Sir Joshua [Reynolds] in his shoe-buckles
were suddenly to find themselves walking up Conduit
street and turning in at the door of Mrs. Cameron's
Gallery, one can imagine them less strangers than might
have been expected, looking round quietly, not feeling
much displaced nor very far from home.”

Cameron was a recognized artist with a reputation
to uphold and plainly sought the acclamation that this
lifetime retrospective exhibition could bestow upon her.
Although she never referred to herself as a professional
artist, she was proceeding in precisely such a manner, de-
livering her work as anticipated and fully engaging in the
public and commercial spheres as any professional artist
‘would have done.:”*
‘Throughout her career Cameron negotiated the con-
flicting demands of her role as a wife and mother and her
aspirations as an artist. When they coexisted harmoni-
ously, the results were sometimes remarkable, as in the
clegiac series of portraits she made of the Norman family
in the summer of 1874 (cat. nos. 1006-11). The photo-
graphs were probably made as a memorial to Julia Nor-
‘man. Cameron’ grief percolates through the tender and
cathartic pictures. Central to the series is a group por-
trait that shows two of the Norman girls, Adeline and
‘Margaret, huddled around their father (cat. no. 1006).
The composition has been organized to emphasize the
unity of the family and the strength of its bond in the
face of bereavement. The daughters protectively envelop
their father, reach out to embrace each other, and, in a
mannered gesture probably suggested by Cameron, cup
his heart in their hands. The girls are fulfilling what was
considered to be their natural role as supportive daugh-
ters, ministering to their father's needs, carrying forward
the memory of their deceased mother, and becoming in
the process litle mothers. Cameron’ inscription on this
print, “This copy especially for my beloved Charlie Nor-
rman,” confirms the intimate and offertory nature of the
work and the affection that she held for her son-in-law,
who, of course, provided her with the gift of her first cam
era in December 1863 and enthusiastically supported her
photographie enterprise.
1 one of his many pronouncements on the nobility of
labor, Thomas Carlyle remarked, “Laborare est Orare,
Work is Worship.’ Older than all preached Gospels is
this unpreached, inarticulate, but ineradicable, forever-
‘enduring Gospel: Work, and therein have wellbeing.”
Photography as Cameron practiced it was a form of rig-
‘orous personal worship, almost an enactment of faith,
She never shied away from the laborious physical and
‘mental demands that her methods necessitated, under-
standing that a committed, imaginative attention to the
nuances of process and manipulation was her chosen
pathway toward the high ground of art. Despite the
renown of her work, Cameron's style was never appropri~
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
ated or adopted by other photographers in her lifetime. It
‘was too urgently experimentalist and antiperfectionist to
inspire imitation. This fierce independence of vision, sus-
tained through some fourteen years of practice as a pho-
tographer, is a significant yardstick by which her work
should be measured. The sheer volume of her production,
the range of her subject matter, and the tenacity of her
self-promotion were all extraordinary for the time. While
CCameror’s goals for her art were vividly conceived and her
vision consistently lively and independent, the work was
never realized according to a fixed plan, Consequently,
her ocuvre consists of a modest number of pictures of real
genius—what one might call the peaks of her achieve
ment—and a significant percentage tainted by flaws and
idiosyncrasies, which necessarily represent the valleys of
her creative output. However, itis in the quiet depths of
the valleys, home to many of her most audacious bursts of
creativity that the essence of Cameron's art lies. The vac~
illating quality of her results was a natural by-product of
her high ambition and the fearless risk-taking approach
ofan artist constantly skating near the outer limits of ac~
ceptable photographic technique. Cameron was prepared
to do with the medium what had not been done before.
A statement John Keats made recounting the genesis of
his epic poem Endymion (1818) describes a creative philos-
cophy that fittingly evokes Cameron's approach to her life
and art:
eaped headlong into the Sea, and thereby have
‘become better acquainted withthe Soundings, che
quicksands, & the rocks, than if [had stayed upon the
seen shore
Twas never aa of fulur: for I would sooner fail than
rot be among the greatest®
and took tea 8 comfortable advice.

critic, was inily «fervent admicer of photography, but by the 1603

letter to Cameron (Feb. 23, 1868 [Wilson Centre for Photography,

Little Pictures: Julia Margaret Cameron
and Small-Format Photography
EARLY ALL OF THE PHOTOHISTORI~
ans who have written about Julia Marga-
ret Cameron have neglected to consider
her small-format photographs. These works, however,
provide a fascinating contrast to the monumental life-
size pictures on which Cameron's reputation as an artist
rests.2 This catalogue surveying Cameron's full ocuvre
provides an excellent opportunity to describe the scope of
her reduced-size photographs, her motives for producing
them, their function and means of distribution, and the
relationship between their commercial and aesthetic value.
Rather than intending them to compete in the com-
‘mercial market for small-format photographs, Cameron
produced reduced versions of her bigger works as con-
ventional cartes-de-visite and cabinet cards and released
them primatily to emphasize the merits of her large prints
and promote herself as an artist. She also used the reduced
Prints to create albums that served as small portable gal-
leries of her work that she gave as gifts to family and
friends. Cameron's experiments with reduced prints thus
fall between the public and the private domain, and while
her small-format photographs appear to have a clearly
discernible cultural and social purpose, their commercial
rationale is less clear. They reveal her deliberate engage~
ment with aspeets of popular culture and social ritual in
order to emphasize the value of high art through fine-art
reproductions. A study of these small prints shows that
Cameron was absolutely passionate and determined in
her mission to promote both herself as an artist and her
photographs as works of art. Incidentally, they also pro-
vide valuable evidence about images that survive only as
a reduced print since no large print has been found. For

Cartomania
then Cameron took up photography in 1863, the
carte-de-visite phenomenon, which was popularly
known as cartomania, had already peaked. The carte-de~
visite had been patented by André-Adolphe-Eugéne
Disdéri in Paris on November 27, 1854.* By the time
Emperor Napoleon III sat for his carte-de-visite portrait
at Disdéri’s studio in 1859, cartomania had begun, and by
the early 18608 the carte-de-visite had reached London,
By the mid-1860s the shop windows of the high street
‘were filled with these miniature portraits. The eraze con-
tributed greatly to raising the public's awareness of por
trait photography.
‘The carte-de-visite—an albumen print mounted on
a commercially produced card usually measuring 4% by
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
2'/ inches—had several significant advantages. The cam-
cera was designed to combine several separate exposures on
a single negative so that cartes-de-visite could be mass
produced relatively easily. This made the product compar
atively cheap, which enabled the middle class to acquire
not only portraits but also photographs of works of art
and architecture.* During the cartomania of the 1860s
zillions of cartes-de-visite were produced, and the phe~
nomenon took on an international favor. In London, for
example, the American John Jabez Edwin Mayall and the
Frenchman Camille-Léon-Luis Silvy* operated success-
fal commercial portrait studios producing hundreds of
thousands of conventional cartes-de-visite. In addition
‘to making private portraits for customers, professional
photographers discovered a lucrative market for mass-
produced cartes-de-visite of celebrities, and a vibrant in-
dustry developed with startling rapidity to meet the huge
demand.” A photographer who obtained a portrait of a
well-known sitter along with permission to sell it asa carte
hhad a guaranteed source of income. Portraits of members
of the royal family were particularly popular. Mayall’s
portrait of Queen Victoria sold hundreds of thousands of
copies (fig. 56). The fact that the queen herself had en-
dorsed the carte-de-visite format served only to increase
its popularity.*
‘Typically the subject’s face assumed minute propor-
tions on a carte-de-visite. Although it was popularly felt
that details of the moral, emotional, and psychological
status of an individual could be read in his or her face,
commercial photographers did not see it as their task to
emphasize the character or personality of their sitters. In
1864 the Photographic News wrote that the carte
does not give what you habitually see, nor what you
‘ish to remember, In any average carte you see the lege
occupy as large a portion of the foreground as any
other individual member or pair of members. But in
your mental conception and recollection of your friend
the legs do not occupy a prominent place... [eis
his face, his eyes, his mouth, which interpret his rind
to yours, and live in your memory’?
In 1866 commercial portraiture received a boost with
the introduction of the cabinet format.!® The cabinet
card, introduced by F. R. Window, was an albumen print
con a card usually measuring 6 x 4% inches. It was hoped
the larger size would offset a perceived decline in the
demand for photographic portraits: “The Cabinet photo-
graph was aimed as a natural extension of the mania thathad characterized the carte-de-visite. Although it became
a popular format in Europe and North America from the
late 1860s, it was less of a commercial success in England
and never rivaled the popularity of the carte.""”
Another element of popular culture that drove the
market for photography was the practice, beginning in
the 18508, of compiling family albums. While there are
‘many variants of what we think of as the typical Victorian
photograph album, most contained cartes-de-visite and/
or cabinet-size portraits, either mounted or unmounted,
of family members and friends, together with collectible
images of celebrities and reproductions of works of art.
People acquired and exchanged cartes-de-visite to com-
pile their albums, and this did much to support the pho-
tographic trade?
‘A primary characteristic of both carte-de-visite and
cabinet photographs was their use of formulaic poses and
backdrops. In the 1860s photographers in large studios
such as those of Mayall, John Joseph Elliott and Clar-
ence E. Fry, and Silvy usually portrayed their siters full
length," leaning against a balustrade or pillar, perhaps

Cameron's Small-Format Photographs
Sux fon by the popularity of small photographic
prints, Cameron circulated approximately one-fifth of
her large-format portrait and genre photographs in re-
duced formats, either mounted as cartes or cabinet cards
or presented in miniature albums to friends and family
members. Her use of reduced prints culminated in book
illustrations, such as those included in miniature editions
of The Léylls of the King and Other Poems. Cameron emn-
braced the scale of traditional carte images, but she
not adopt the pictorial style associated with them. Her
small-format prints were not intended to mirror the work
of commercial photographers.
In the late 18605, when Cameron was trying to
«establish her reputation and promote her work, the South
Kensington Museum began a program to make photo-
sraphic reproductions of original artifacts, whereby “ad-
rmirable substitutes were produced with perfect security to
the originals.”!® Roger Fenton had initiated this practice
atthe British Museum, where in 1854 he was appointed of-
ficial photographer. Sir Henry Cole (cat. no. 633) direc-
tor ofthe South Kensington Museum, echoed this practice
beginning in 1864, To reproduce artifacts “by photography.”
the museum set up a photographic studio."” Cameron
enjoyed a good relationship with Cole, and he allowed
her to use one of the rooms in the museum asa studio for
portrait sessions. She took several of her portraits there,
including those of Miss Louise Beatrice de Fonblangue
(cat. nos. 224-26; cat. no. 226, now in the Victoria and
Albert Museum, is inscribed “From Life taken at the South
Kensington Muscum March 1868 Julia Margaret Cam-
ron"). Other subjects she photographed there included
Joseph Joachim (cat. no. 693) and, of course, Cole, who
had purchased a number of her photogeaphs in 1865. She
later donated another set of prints to the muscum as a gift
(see chronology).
The photographic copying being carried out in the
museum may have influenced Cameron and led her to
produce reduced versions of her own work. It would be
clearly evident to her how reproductions could be used to
promote awareness of artworks to a huge potential market.
Cameron was, above all, determined to promote herself
as an artist, but even though she was well aware of the
‘commercial aspects of the photography and art markets,
Wright
838
financial gain was not her primary consideration."* Her
‘main concern was the production of fine works of art.
Another affiliation that may have influenced Cam-
«ron to begin making reduced versions of her photographs
‘was her membership in the Arundel Society, which pub-
lished copies of works of art and reproductions of sculp-
ture.!? Along with illustrating poems and other literary
works, depicting the subjects of works of art became one of
‘Cameron's photographie concerns. The society, for example,
hhad made reproductions of the sculptures contained in
the Elgin Marbles, and Cameron subsequently chose this
subject for two of her prints—Teachings from the Elgin
‘Marbles (cat. no. 1110), which she had reduced, and 24
Version of Study after the Elgin Marbles (cat. no. 11).
‘The term reduced format is appropriate for Cameron's
small prints because one of the things that set her apart
from commercial portrait studios was the nature of het
equipment. Professional photographers would typically
have a number of cameras of different sizes or use a
rmultiple-back camera that could accept plates producing
variety of negative sizes. They also owned cameras built
for specific purposes, such as the multiple-Iens cameras
used for cartes-de-visite. In addition, the possibility of
enlarging a standard-size negative greatly benefited pro-
fessional photographers because they could use a single
negative to produce copies of any size. Although this pro~
cedure would become the basis of modern photography,
any form of enlargement was still uncommon in the 1860s,
Nevertheless, Cameron noted on many of her prints that
they were “From Life, Not Enlarged.”
‘We know that Cameron favored two sizes of large-
format glass plates to produce her monumental photo-
graphs" but it is not known, unfortunately, how she
reduced those images. Itis unlikely that she made the small
prints herself22 Although she claimed she received no
assistance making her photographs,” she hinted in a letter
to the Boston publisher James Thomas Fields (cat. no. 663)
that she did not have the time to produce reduced images:
‘The enclosed will show you I could not learn the exact
date of your friends’ departure —if it were delayed a few
days I could yee send the reduced copies of Mr. Fields’
portrait which I have had taken from my Big Photo
‘on purpose for you. I do not myself use up my time in
reducing, only in large originals.
Inall likelihood Cameron had someone else carry out this
work for her. The copying could have been done by her
sons. A letter to Hardinge Hay Cameron suggests that
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
Charlie Hay Cameron pethaps performed this task for
her Since her youngest son, Henry Herschel Hay Cam-
cron, later became a photographer, it is possible that he
first learned the fundamentals of the medium by taking
on copying and reduction tasks for his mother. We know
that he did print some of his mother's large prints and
signed them according to her usual manner. In 1886 he
established the Henry Herschel Hay Cameron Studio,
where prints were presented on HH. H. Cameron and
“The Cameron Studio mounts.2”
Cameron's reduced prints were most likely made by
someone who had the appropriate commercial equipment
a carte-de-visite or cabinet camera, for example—to
photograph her large-scale prints. The copy negatives from
those cameras would be used to produce the small prints.
‘The carte-de-visite camera, which produced a negative of
multiple images of the original, would have been a partic
ularly efficient copying device since one printing fom the
plate could then be cut into numerous identical prints.
Although a surprisingly large range of Cameron's work
was reproduced in small format, itis interesting that no
more than half a dozen reduced prints appear to have
been made of any single large image. She could easily have
had hundreds of each subject printed from these nega-
tives, but the minimal number of known prints confirms
that it was not her intention to mass-produce cartes
de-visite and cabinets for commercial sale.?*
tis important to stress that Cameron's small-format
prints are distinguished from those made by her commer
cial contemporaries in other ways. Unlike photographers
such as Mayall and Silvy, she did not use the carte-de-
visite merely to disseminate the likeness of a famous sit-
ter. She was not interested in the cult of personality that
fueled the cartomania craze. Her choice of subjects to be
reproduced as cartes appears to have been based on her
favorite and most popular images. Although some of them,
such as her portraits of Alfted Tennyson (see cat. nos. 796,
804, 807, 810), could be seen to meet more commercial
criteria, their relative scarcity suggests that mass-producing
them was not a significant concern.
Inaddition to producing portraits of famous celebri-
ties, commercial photographers used the carte-de-visite
and the cabinet card formats to sell pictures of newsworthy
events and reproductions of works of art. Cameron was
interested in the potential of both formats for the latter
purpose, primarily to spread awareness of her own larger
works of art.2°

ent than conventional ones, and they also have a very dif16.58 Julia Margaret Cameron. Hypara, 868. Albumen cabinet

ferent feel than the reduced prints she mounted directly
in her miniature albums. The images mounted as cartes
vary in dimensions; the cards always have a thick litho
‘graphed gold border and also vary in size. The majority
have a lithographed facsimile inscription, “From Life
Copyright Julia Margaret Cameron," as shown in Hypatia
(fg. 58)."' No photographic studio stamp ever appears.2?
‘The small prints Cameron mounted as cartes-de-
visite and cabinet cards were distributed through the
commercial art market. She was acutely aware of the
potential both formats had as a vehicle for introducing
her large fine-art works to the public and clearly under
stood their function. The small prints were not works of
artin their own right but objects for study that could gen-
crate sales of her large prints.
Subjects of the Reduced-Format Photographs
he subjects from her large prints that Cameron
selected to reproduce as reduced prints are varied.
Portraits of famous men form a significant proportion.”*
‘These include such favorites as Tennyson, John Herschel
(cat. nos. 674-75), George Frederic Watts (cat. nos. 826,
828), and ‘Thomas Carlyle (cat. nos. 628~29). Among the
numerous well-known men are also the artist William
Holman Hunt (cat. no. 687); the musician Joseph Joachim,
with and without his violin (cat. nos. 693, 695-96); and
the poet and essayist Sir Henry Taylor (see cat. nos. 769,
717» 78, 783, 789-90). OF the male members of Cam-
eron’s family, there are portraits of her sons Ewen (cat.
no. 613) and Eugene (cat. no. 605) and her husband,
Charles (cat. no. 597). Ewen is seated, suggesting a studio
setting. Without exception, the pictures of men are redue-
tions of three-quarter-length portraits or life-size heads.
Only Joachim and Tennyson hold objects that suggest
their profession. These small three-quarter-length por-
traits are in keeping with those produced by professional
photographers at the time, although they display none of
the conventional backdrops and props.
‘Cameron photographed only a few women who were
known primarily through their professional status—the
author Anne Thackeray (cat. no. 500) and the painter
Marie Spartali (cat. nos, 466~67, 469, 471-78, 480, 485).
There are other, nonreduced, images of Thackeray and
many of Spartali, who was the artists’ model to the Pre~
Raphaelite Brotherhood, She also became popular model
for Cameron, who photographed her both in portraits and
in genre subjects like The Imperial Eleanore (cat. no. 471)
and Hypatia (cat. no. 469). Other portraits of women
include several variant poses of Annie Chinery (cat. nos.
189-93, 198, 204), who became Ewen Cameron's wife. One
of these (see cat. no. 193) is a carte-de-visite of her in her
wedding dress. There are also a number of prints of Hatty
Campbell (cat. nos. 181-82, 184-87) and Julia Jackson,
later Mrs. Herbert Duckworth (cat. nos. 298, 302, 304,
316).
Children feature heavily among Cameron's reduced
subjects. These prints were probably made specifically for
the albums she compiled for family and friends. Children
‘of a number of her friends appear in portrait and genre
subjects. These include Esme Howard (cat. no. 973), Kate
Keown (cat. nos, 981-82, 986), Elizabeth Keown (cat.
nos. 977, 980-81), Margie Thackeray (cat. nos. 1042-43),
and Freddy Gould (eat. nos. 955,957,959)
Cameron was a devout woman, and her religious
subjects are among the most beautiful of her works. Many
Wright
8586
of them were produced as reduced prints. This category
includes fine-art subjects, such as the Madonna, that print
sellers were offering on the commercial market. These
dealers, like Cameron, used reduced-format photographs
to promote sales of large prints. Cameron's reduced prints
with the Madonna as subject include Mary Mother (cat.
no, 101), La Madonna Vigilante (cat. no. 5), La Madonna
Riposata (cat. no. s1), and La Madonna Aspettante (cat.no.
50). Her images that depict works of art, classical sub-
jects, poetry, and literary works, such as study —after the
‘manner of Francia (cat. no. 110), Beatrice (cat. no. 408),
and Resalba (cat. no. 509), compose another major aspect
‘of Cameron's reduced subjects
Despite this variety of subject matter, which pre-
sumably would have appealed to a broad range of cus
tomer interests, there are no references to any successful
sales of her small-format photographs. Nevertheless, many
found a place in the albums that so many Victorian fami~
lies assembled with pictures from a variety of sources.
Portable Galleries
gain adapting an element of popular culture, Cam-
eron found that a second use for her small-format
photographs was to mount collections of them in min-
iature albums. She lovingly assembled these portable
galleries, which followed in style such beautiful, person-
alized, large-scale presentation albums as the Overstone
and Herschel Albums, as gifts for her family and friends.
‘They encapsulate her, ina sense; they are an expression of
herself. They were not intended to promote the sale of her
larger works, but were personal gifts to be kept and trea~
sured by the recipients. Cameron placed a high priority
on the kind of expression of friendship and love that a gift
of her work would have represented.
Cameron's giving of these albums reflected her natu-
ral generosity. Indeed, if she had difficulty making a fi-
nancial profit from her photographs, it may well be because
of this benevolence. In the first few years of her carcer she
gave away hundreds of her photographs, many in the large
presentation albums. She also gave single prints to sitters
as a thank-you for posing for her and to individuals, such
as the writer William Michael Rossetti (cat. nos. 751-52),
who Cameron hoped could advance her reputation and
«gain recognition for her within cultural and artistic circles.
Cameron is known to have made nine portable gal-
leries (see table 1) They are bound in either leather or
cloth and usually have a variation of the title Miniaeure
Edition of Mrs. Cameronis Photographs from the Life em:
bossed in gold lettering, Unlike the large albums, she did
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
not sign the pages, although sometimes she captioned the
prints. There is usually a dedication and a personal note
to the recipient on the frontispiece. She personalized each
miniature album by including a small photograph of her~
self, either a reproduction of the 1850 painting by G. F.
Watts (fig. 16) or a photographic portrait by H. H. H.
Cameron.
The specific contents of each album vary depending
upon the recipient, but the subject matter is broadly simi-
lar. In five of the albums—those given to the Norman
family, Nellie Mundy, Albert Louis Cotton, and Har~
linge Hay Cameron (two)—the reduced photographs are
mounted directly onto the album pages. The albumen
prints, commonly between the standard carte-de-visite
and cabinet dimensions, are often trimmed to miscella-
neous sizes, in keeping with Cameron's variable approach
to cropping her large prints
‘The miniature albums provide an opportunity to
understand how Cameron conceptualized her work and her
reduced photographs. The second of the albums she gave
her son Hardinge Hay is the most comprehensive of her

usually not identified unless through the name and
address of a commercial studio; when the volumes feature
inscriptions, these refer to the sitter or setting. As the
albums were personal gifts, the selection of images and the
kinds of inscriptions vary, but there are also important
similarities among them that tell much about Cameron's
carly activities in photography.
The albums can generally be dated to two periods:
1857-59 and 1860 ~63.° Typically albums in each period
have more images in common with one another than with
albums in the other group. However, there are also sig
nificant continuities between the two time frames, For ex~
ample, Watts owned volumes produced during both
periods (the Signor 1857 and JMC to GFW Albums). He
was also the recipient in February 1864 of Cameron's first
major compilation of her pictures—the Watts Album (see
appendix C)—a gift that can now be recognized as part
of a long-standing common interest. Cameron clearly
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
considered him an important viewer of photographs.
Likewise, sitters are common to albums of both periods,
oceasionally in portraits taken at different times. While
the effort to record growing children was predictable
{although hardly common to portrait photography in this
cera), there are also current portraits of Cameron's close
friends Alfred Tennyson and Henry Taylor.
The women owners of albums were members of
Cameron's family: her daughter, Julia Hay Norman, and
sisters Maria “Mia” Jackson and Virginia Somers-Cocks.
The album she gave Mia is unique for the elaborate orga-
nization of its contents, The format combines numerous
images collected in the earlier volumes with Cameron's
work in photography from 1864 and after, yet it effectively
distinguishes between Cameron’ artistic pictures and the
other prints, corresponding with her emphasis on the
importance of the events of early 1864 to her artPhotographic Portraits in Albums

twas the dower house of Holland House, the estate of
Henry Edward Fox, Lord Holland, whom Watts had
known since the early 1840s. Cameron's sister Sarah Prinsep
and her husband, Thoby, leased Little Holland House from
the Hollands, an arrangement facilitated by Watts’ friend~
ship with both families.* The painter, known affection-
ately as “Signor,” lived and had his studio at Little Holland.
House, where he was one of the attractions of Sarah Prin-
sep’s weekly salons. If Watts received the Signor 1857 Album
fora specific occasion that year (possibly his fortieth birth-
day), this is not known, nor is it known who assembled,
it and added photographs taken after 1857 to its pages.’
In 1859 Cameron presented an elaborate, beautifully
assembled album of photographs to Lord Holland’
cousin, Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, Lord Lansdowne. He
‘was a prominent government figure, nearing the end of
along and influential career as a member of the House
of Lords, cabinet minister, and adviser to Queen Victoria.
At Bowood House he reassembled a major collection of
painting and sculpture that had been built by his father
and was a patron of literature and the visual arts.* Watts
hhad painted two frescoes at the Lansdowne estate in 1857;
it is possible that he performed as an intermediary between
Cameron and Lansdowne, as he had previously done be-
tween the Prinseps and Hollands.
‘The Signor 1857 and Lansdowne Albums have spe-
cific images in common, including photographic repro-
ductions of Watts’ portrait drawings and variants from a
single photographic session featuring Cameron's sons.
‘The similarities in contents imply a common context, but
it is not known if Cameron had photographs taken to give
to Lansdowne; if she arranged to have the photographs
taken, then decided to give them to Watts and present an
album to Lansdowne; or if another scenario led to the im-
ages and albums. Cameron and her children are the most
numerous subjects in the Signor 1857 Album, followed by
Cameron' sisters, their children, and photographic copies
of Watts's drawings of the Pattle family and their friends.
Like the Signor 1857 Album, the photographs in the Lans-
downe Album are all portraits, all identified by Cameron’
inscriptions. Half of the images are of Cameron's three
younger children, Sarah Prinsep’s sons, and Mia Jackson’
daughters. The remaining pictures are of the Pattle sis
ters—typically in portraits by Watts—and the distin-
guished men of their circle: Taylor, Tennyson, Thoby

Lansdowne was contributing to the expenses of Har-
dinge’s education. Cameron's presentation of the album
to Lansdowne may have been an expression of her grati~
tude as well as an opportunity to present another son as
deserving of support, for there are three photographs—
more than of any other sitter—of Henry Herschel Hay
Cameron, seven years old in 1859
“The images in the Lansdowne Album present mem-
bers of the next generation in the company of distin-
guished men and beautiful Pattle women. The Signor 1857
Album features fewer pictures of distinguished men and
more of the Pattle family. The lighting and settings in
both sets of photographs are informal, possibly indicating
that they were taken on the grounds of Little Holland
House or another home, not the studio of a commercial
photographer. The Signor 1857 Album contains a well-
known portrait of Cameron posed as a writer and mother,

her pen in one hand, her other hand keeping sons Henry
and Charles close by (see fig. 30). Related images from
this session, from both albums, feature the boys in other
poses (figs. 6566). Included in both albums is an 1854
photograph of baby Henry (fig. 67), whose bare shoulders
and legs anticipate Cameron's artistic images of children
(Gee cat, nos. 862-64, 895-901).
While the identity of the creator of these photo-
‘graphs is unknown, the pictures point to Cameron's famil-
iarity with the role of performing before a camera. She
could have had a hand in directing her sons in their dif-
ferent poses as well. The pictures associate these activities
with those of the Pattle sisters, who cultivated personal
display and unconventional dress in their social lives.
Other images in the Signor 1857 Album, for example, 2

his white socks and bare legs sticking out from his fancy
dress robe, connect the production of such images with

[irssender 9: Cameron ins an abun of pho
tographs to her daughter “Julia Hay Norman with the
love of her Mother Julia Margaret Cameron (Dec. 5"
1862{)]. Freshwater Bay.” The gift of a camera a year later
by Julia and Charles Norman may be considered, in part,
as a reply to Cameron's presentation of this volume. The
two albums Cameron gave to her sisters in 1863 mark her
transition to artistic photography. She inscribed one to
‘Mia Jackson on July 7, 1863. The Mia Album includes
sixty-three pictures by Cameron inserted after its presen-
tation, with an unusual format that sets off her artistic
photographs from the others included within.’ The
Somers-Cocks Album is inscribed “For my beloved Sis-
ter Virginia (Photographs of my own printing) with every
fond Xmas wish from Julia Margaret Cameron Xmas
Eve 1863.” With the exception of an 1864 picture of Julia
Jackson later inserted into the album, the images in this
volume are not examples of Cameron's own artistic work,
When photographs in the Somers-Cocks Album are
‘compared to those in the Mia Album made from the same
negatives, the significance of Cameron's parenthetical
qualification about her own printing becomes evident
Printsin the Somers-Cocks Album are consistently darker
im tonality than prints of the same negative in the Mia
Album. Given Cameron's inscription in the Somers-
‘Cocks Album that she printed its photographs, the darker
results could be the product of her experimentation with,
different effects in printing.*
‘A more significant contrast, however, is found in
Cameron's approach to a portrait of Taylor, who was
photographed by Oscar Gustave Rejlander in 1862. Her
familiarity with and regard for this portrait session are
evident in inscriptions she made to photographs (figs.
69-70) in an album owned by Sibella Norman, Julia
Norman's mother-in-law.’ The portrait of Taylor in the
Somers-Cocks Album (fig. 71) is evidence that Cameron
‘was not only printing photographic negatives before she
obtained a camera but that she printed them in a way that
anticipated her own artistic approach. The copy is bigger
than a version of the image in the Mia Album (fig. 72).
Both are contact prints, however, from the same negative,
as they share identical surface abrasions and details. The
Somers-Cocks version is proportionally larger because it
was taken from a copy negative, one that was bigger and
that omitted details from the edge of the portrait to con-
centrate on the subjects face and figure. Given Cameron's
engagement with photographic printing by the early
1860s, it is likely that she would have explored working

‘with a camera before she obtained her own. She used the
copy negative to transform Rejlander’s portrait of Taylor
into her own interpretation of him. Her decision to use a
larger copy negative resulted in a picture where he is more
imposing and seemingly closer in space to the viewer.
Unlike Rejlander, who let most of Taylor's torso in shadow,
Cameron masked the negative during printing to retain
the contours and tones of his figure while keeping details
in the light cones of his har, face, and beard (darker tones
around his face and beard are signs of some uneven mask=
ing). Cameron's version of Rejlander’s image results in a
portrait of Taylor that anticipates the numerous images
she would later make ofthis sitter, who became one of her
‘most photographed models (see cat. nos. 761-90).
The idea that Cameron explored her own photo-
graphic aesthetic by working with a copy negative of a
print made by another photographer is surprising, This
idea runs counter to the popular identification of her art
with her “out-of-focus” lens manipulation and more gen-
erally with expectations of artistic photography that the
camera and its operator's individual vision are primary.
Cameron's approach emerged from a different context,
when copy photography was familiar from the numerous
art reproductions included on the pages of albums and
when ownership of a camera was a financial investment
‘more common to commercial uses. From the perspective
of her early experience in photography, Cameron's ini-
tial, innovative work with the camera lens no longer
appears as an idiosyneratic activity, but one that devel-
oped from a motivated exploration of possibilities she had
already considered in advance.
‘The flat, screenlike quality of the pictorial space
in some of Cameron's Watts Album photographs (cat
‘nos. 8, 27-28) is reminiscent of her interpretation of Rej-
lander’s portrait of Taylor, as she predictably used her new
camera lens to achieve effects that already interested her.
Based on her earlier practice, she initially treated her own,
camera negatives as picture surfaces, inscribing or mark-
ing them and retaining traces of process and mistakes for
their pictorial possibilities. Cameron's experimentation in
the Watts Album photographs with variant eroppings of
the same negative (see, for example, cat. nos. 2~3, 10—11)
explores the implications of framing and composition that
she would later realize with her camera,
Historians have discussed the possibility that Cam-
cron also worked with Rejlander in taking photographs,
Irish & Isle of Wight peasants, for example (fg. 73)!" Two
of the models for this picture, Mary Ryan (cat. nos. 446~
36) and Kate Dore (cat. nos. 210-12), were soon to appearin Cameron’ artistic images. Iris & Lileof Wight peasants
is an example of an outcome not uncommon to collabora
tion: the image conveys neither Rejlander’s artistry in
composition nor Cameron's own expressive use of light
and space. The Mia, Somers-Cocks, and JMC to GFW
‘Albums include other images dating to the early 1860
that were possibly made in collaboration, and several dis-
play a more imaginative use of camera position that might
suggest Cameron’ greater role in their production. The
Jow camera angle in the photograph of young Julia Jack-
son (fig. 74) anticipates the imposing quality that her face
and profile would take in Cameron’ artistic photographs
(ce cat. nos. 302-14), while the close perspective in the
photograph of Cameron's granddaughter Charlotte No
‘man (fig. 5) resembles that in such early pictures as Daisy
(cat. no. 5). Cameron's ‘My printing offerms” (Big. 76) and her
imaginative adaptation of a Rejlander negative of Kate
Dore (fg. 77) into a photograph that combines a photo-
‘gram and the Dore image (fig. 78) are further examples of
carly experiments with expressive effects that could be
obtained from printing. As Cameron's first report of her
artistic photography, in a letter to Herschel in February
1864, began with a recollection of learning from him of pho-
tography “in its Infant Life of Talbotype & Daguerreo-
type,” the associations of photograms of plants with
photogenic drawings by Talbot and others would not have
been lost on her.
Yet, Cameron’ artistic photography soon began to
grow beyond its own infant life. The redundant phrasing
she used in her 1865 inscription to the Overstone Album,
“Every thing in this book is from the Life & all these
Photographs are printed as well as taken by J. M. C." (see
fig. 95) insists upon the connection between taking nega-
tives and printing them, as if she were distancing herself
from her earlier activity of printing another's negatives. In
the Annals, written nearly a decade later, Cameron hap-
pily gave a retrospective account of her accomplishments
in which the camera lens (“it has become to me as living
thing, with voice and memory and creative vigour”) ® was
her chief means of making artistic photographs.
Cameron’ art developed the more she worked with
a camera. She delved into the optical effects of her lens,
‘using depth of field to render suggestive forms as well as
the tactlity of hair, cloth, and skin. She refined her use of
scale and pictorial space, soon obtaining a larger-format
camera to achieve more imposing effects, especially in
her life-size images of heads. In tandem with these steps,
she perfected an expressive use of light that ranged well
beyond the rendering of detail in both the dark and light

Cameron’ artistic photography, represented in its full
range and extent in the pages ofthis catalogue, moved well
beyond its origins. Stories of beginnings, like this one, are
always inseparable from an understanding of the events
that follow them. Cameron's artistic work emerged from
photographic activities that are finally measured by the
‘extent to which she redefined and made them her own.

CATALOGUE
Note to the Reader
THE CATALOGUE SECTION PRESENTS 1,222 OF JULIA
Margaret Cameron's photographs (plus three late addi-
tions), organized into eight chapters. The individual chap-
ter openings describe these groupings of her work and
explain the ordering of the prints. While the principal
goal has been to show one print from each unique Cam-
cron negative, occasionally included are details, reversed
prints, and prints made after Cameron's death.
‘The catalogue entries are composed of two tiers of
complementary information. The primary data, which is
found under each photograph, includes the catalogue num-
ber, title(s), sitter(s), date, and collection from which the
picture comes. The secondary data, which is found to the
tight of the photographs, includes the inscriptions, image
and mount dimensions, medium (if other than an albumen
print), provenance, location and physical characteristics of|
other prints ofthe image, details about where the image has
been reproduced, and additional notes. Fields are omitted
when no relevant information applies. The following sec-
tions provide detailed information about each field.
Title(s)
Unbracketed titles are those inscribed by Cameron, usu-
ally on the mount to which the photograph is attached
but sometimes in album indexes. Sitters’ signatures or fac~
simile signatures occasionally determine titles. Brackets
around or within titles indicate that they have been as-
signed by the authors. The artist sometimes gave different
titles to the same image; when alternative titles inscribed
by her are known, this information is supplied in the
Other Prints field. Cameron's often idiosyncratic spelling
and punctuation have been retained in the inscriptions,
with mistakes noted by [sic] and authorial corrections
made in the Title(s) field. For works not titled by Cam-
cron, the authors have avoided assigning descriptive titles
or applying those provided by earlier scholars. Instead, the
preference has been for the use of straightforward, taxo-
nomic phrasing, such as [Group], (Two Women, Ceylon},
and (Unknown Girl]
Sitter(s)
‘When the identity ofthe sitter(s) is known, and this infor-
mation does not appear in the title, it is included in this
field. In instances where the identity ofa siter is uncer-
tain, a question mark in parentheses has been added after
the name. When a photograph includes two or more sit-
ters, the identifications proceed from left to right across
the image. There is a brief biographical index of known
sitters in appendix E. As sitters are often portrayed in
biblical, historical, literary, and mythological roles, a list
ing of sources of inspiration for Cameron's works can be
found in appendix F.
Date
Unbracketed dates are those established by Cameron and
usually inscribed by her on the mount. Brackets indicate
a date assigned by the authors. Sometimes these dates are
approximate and are indicated by a span of years (for
‘example, 1870-80). Cameron sometimes supplied con-
flicting dates on different prints of the same work; when
this applies, the discrepancy is indicated in the Other Prints
field. Also included when known is the date that Cameron
registered the photograph for copyright at Stationers’
Hall, London (see appendix A). In most cases she copy-
righted the photograph soon after having made it, which
has assisted in the process of assigning dates to works for
which accurate information was hitherto unknown.
Collection
Every effort has been made to provide information about
the current ownership of works. Abbreviations have been
used for most public collections (see collection abbre~viations); the names of private collections run in full
Accession numbers are provided when available. Ifthe pho-
tograph is included in a presentation album, the name of the
album is indicated. Owners who have requested anonymity
are listed as “private collection,” and other particularities
of wording reflect ther stipulations. This rubric also applies
in the Provenance field. See appendix C for summaries of
ten albums Cameron assembled between 1863 and 1869
and appendix D for descriptions of the major collections of
‘Cameron photographs and letters and manuscripts.
Inscriptions
‘Most of Cameron's photographs are mounted on boards
and are accompanied by inscriptions and stamps (for ex-
amples, see appendix B). Recto and verso inscriptions are
noted, and itis clearly stated whether or not they appear
to be in Cameron's hand. Here the abbreviation JMC
stands for the artists name. Recto inscriptions are typically
located directly underneath the image, while verso in-
scriptions are usually in the center or lower quadrants of
the mount. Recto inscriptions always precede mention of
stamps or labels. legible parts of an inscription, errors in
spelling and punctuation, and authorial interpolations
are noted in bracketed comments. A slash mark denotes
a line break.
Often the inscriptions consist ofa title, date, and the
location of the sitting (For example, Cameron's home at
Freshwater, Isle of Wight, or that of her sister Sarah Prinsep
at Little Holland House, London). Quite commonly the
phrases "From Life,” “Registered Photograph,” “Copyright,”
and “Not Enlarged” are inscribed on the mount. Numbers
in the comers generally refer to Cameron's sequencing of
images in albums. Many times there is also an oval stamp
issued by Cameron's primary agent, P. 8 D. Colnaghi, or
a horizontal stamp issued by the print seller William
Spooner. Occasionally there are literary references, sales
and exhibition instructions, and other descriptive notations.
Dimensions
Cameron worked with two different sizes of glass-plate
negatives. Initially she used twelve-by-ten-inch negatives,
later progressing to fifteen-by-twelve-inch plates. The albu-
‘men prints made from these negatives were usually trimmed
to the desired proportions and attached to an album page
or card mount.
The majority of the works have been remeasured for
this catalogue. Measurements for the image always precede
those for the mount. Dimensions are provided in centimeters
followed by inches, with height always preceding width.
Medium
All works are albumen prints contact printed from wet-
collodion negatives, unless otherwise noted. The Medium
field appears only when the photograph is not an albumen
print. Carbon prints ofa particulary rare or fine quality are
‘occasionally reproduced instead of an albumen print; in such
instances the existence of an equivalent albumen print is
indicated in the Other Prints field. Ifthe image survives
only as a small-format photograph, most commonly a
cabinet card or carte-de-visite, this information is noted
Provenance
‘The provenance of each work is listed as reliably as possible
in chronological order, from earliest to latest owner. The
year of acquisition or transference is given where known,
Other Prints
‘When other prints of the reproduced image are known, the
name of the holding collection is provided along with an
accession number, if available. Duplicate prints from within
the same collection as the reproduced image are always
listed first, followed by other collections in alphabetical
order. While every effort has been made to be thorough,
there may be some instances where prints of the repro-
duced image have not been listed. This applies particu-
larly to smaller public institutions and private collections.
Cameron often varied her interpretation of an image
and created different croppings of prints from the same
negative. If this applies, the relevant information is in-
cluded in this field. Possible formats include rectangular,
circular, square, and oval prints as well as those with,
arched tops and rounded corners. In instances where the
photograph also exists as a carbon print or a small-format
image, that information is also included
Reproduced
‘The references provided here do not amount to a defini-
tive listing of where the image has been reproduced but
rather pertain to the most significant monographs and
exhibition catalogues relating to Cameron’ life and work.
They are given in chronological order and include the
author's name, the year of publication, and the relevant
page or plate citation. ‘These references correspond to full
citations in selected references.
Notes
Explanatory remarks in the catalogue are kept to a mini~
‘mum so as to keep individual entries from becoming.
unduly cumbersome. Occasionally, specific issues are clar-
iffed in this field.

‘Beginnings
ULIA MARGARET CAMERON ENTERED
the world of photography atthe age of forty-
ight and in a career of fourteen short years
earned an indelible place in the history ofthe
medium. Following the gift ofa camera from her daughter,
Julia, and son-in-law, Charles Norman, in December 1863,
Cameron began making photographs immediately. Her
first steps were guided not so much by scientific knowledge
and artistic training as by sheer will and force of ambition.
In the retrospective written account of her career, Annals of
‘My Glass House, Cameron described her frst days working
in photography as a fitful process of trial and error: “Many
and many a week in the year 64 I worked fruitless, but not
hopelessly... . 1 began with no knowledge of the art. I did
‘not know where to place my dark box, how to focus my sit~
ter, and my frst picture I effaced to my consternation by
rubbing my hand over the filmy side of the glass.”* The
images assembled in this chapter show the struggles and
successes of this embryonic phase of her practice. While
Cameron's earliest results could be hit or miss, they were
always innovative and daring.
In the works created in these first weeks of 1864,
Cameron's principal artistic concerns announced them-
selves. Her technique was grand and gestured; her subject
matter, drawn mainly from life literature, and religion.
‘There are portraits of children; intimate studies of family
members, especially the Normans, donors of her first
camera; studies of the Madonna and child and related
religious subjects; illustrations from literature; and indi-
vidual portraits of men and women. Her husband, Charles
‘Cameron, and good friend Henry Taylor were among her
first male sitters. The sequence of photographs in this,
cat. No. 23 Paul and Virginia (detail)
chapter shows her testing a new vocabulary, striving to
deliver the equivalent of perfect sentences.
On February 22, 1864, Cameron presented an album
of thirty-nine photographs to her friend and mentor, the
painter George Frederic Watts, the most comprehensive
{grouping of her earliest pictures to be assembled in such
a manner. Most of the images that compose this chapter
are works that were included in the Watts Album. Cam-
‘eon inscribed the modest bound volume with the phrase
“To The Signor to whose generosity I owe the choicest
fruits of his Immortal genius. I offer these my first suc-
cesses in my mortal but yet divine ! art of Photography.”?
“The album begins, as does this catalogue, with a study
of Annie Philpor (see cat. nos. 1-3), a picture that Cam-
cron described as her “very first success in Photography.”
Philpot had been left motherless in 1858 and was sent
along with her younger brother, Hamlet, to live with Dean
George Granville Bradley and his wife in Marlborough?
‘The Bradleys were close friends of Alfred Tennyson and
regular vistors to Freshwater. It was during one such visit
that Cameron made the gi’ picture, which she described
in a letter attached to a print she presented as a gift to the
childs father (Fg. 79): “My first perfect / success in the /
complete Photograph / owing greatly to the / docility &
sweetness / of my best & fairest / little sitter. /This Pho-
tograph was / taken by me at 1 PM / Friday Jan. 29".
Printed / Toned - fixed and / framed all by me / & given
as it now is by / 8 pm this same day / Jan. 29° 1864.”
‘Cameron was ever resourceful and took advantage of
those close at hand as subjects for her art. In addition to
Philpot, Dean Bradley's own daughter, Daisy (cat. no. 5),
was another early sitter. Mary Hillier and Mary Kellaway,16.79 Julia Margaret Cameron. Annie Philpot anda Later

two of Cameron's domestic servants, frequently modeled
for her; Hillier in particular recurs in the role of the Vir~
gin Mary, a subject that Cameron explored obsessively in
the first eighteen months of her career (see chapter 2).

Keown girls, Kate, Elizabeth, and Alice (daughters of a
military officer stationed on the island), were employed

Cameron initially struggled with the wet-collodion
process, as the homespun quality of her prints testifes.*
‘At times their trimming appears hurried and awkward as
well. The unsteady finishing that characterizes her earli=
est experiments has been preserved in the reproductions
that appear in this chapter. In spite of the sometimes
imperfect results, it was Cameron's intention to suggest
her artistic aptitude by paying close attention to the man-
ner of her works’ presentation. She further added her
imprimatur by inscribing the mounts in her bold cursive,
often identifying the subjects and providing clues as to
her narrative intentions.
Learning how to pose and light her models was
sometimes a process of trial and error. In the early profile
of Henry Taylor (cat. no. 31) for example, Cameron mis-
JULIA MARGARET CAMERON
judged her lighting of his bust, illuminating the hair and
beard from the side but leaving the facial features murky
and ill defined. The bold, compressed space of her close
up study of Mary Ryan in My “beggar-maid" now 15!
(cat. no. 27) offers a prescient gesture of the direction that
Cameron's powerful, individuated portraits of women
were to take, a subject that preoccupied her for the dura-
tion of her photographic earcer (see chapter 3) and has
since received important scholarly attention.>

N THE 125 YEARS stNcE JULIA MARGARET
Cameron's death, some areas of her photo-
graphic work have not met with consistent
critical approval (see discussion in chapter 6). However,
her portraits of “famous men and fair women’ (the phrase
was coined by the Bloomsbury author Virginia Woolf for
the title of her 1926 book of Cameron's photographs)"
have never been out of favor. Woolf's coauthor, the at critic
Roger Fry, for instance, believed Cameron had “a wonder-
ful perception of character as it is expressed in form” and
that her achievements far exceeded those of such eminent
portrait painters of her time as James Abbott McNeill
Whistler and George Frederic Watts? Helmut Gerns-
hheim, the author of a key 1948 biography of Cameron,
found her portraits “infused with a dynamic power which
few photographers since have achieved.”?
‘This chapter brings together in alphabetical order
virtually all of Cameron's individual male portraits —
photographs of men portrayed as themselves rather than
as characters in literary, dramatic, or religious narratives.
‘There are 275 of these, nearly a quarter of Cameron's
known work. The earliest date from her first weeks as a
photographer in 1864 (two portraits each of her husband
and of her close friend Henry Taylor appear in chapter t,
cat, nos. 31~34), the latest from 1874
Looking at the portraits themselves, two things about
them are immediately apparent. First, the majority show
only the sitter’s head and shoulders, with the torso often
draped in dark cloth. Given the large format of Cameron's
prints, the heads appear almost life-sized, making them
virtually the first “close-ups” in photographic history (had
the French photographer Nadar made larger prints, he
car. no. 595 [Charles Hay Cameron] (detail)
might have had the prior claim). Second, they often
employ a raking light from one side ofthe face, making the
close-up effect even more dramatic and revealing.
‘The identities of the sitters in this chapter, only
twenty of whom remain unknown, make another fact
immediately obvious. An impressively large percentage
of them are celebrated men of science, letters, and the
church, Like her contemporary Lewis Carroll, best known
as an author of children’s books but also as a prolific, not to
say obsessive, photographer, Cameron assiduously sought
out well-known people to pose before her camera. While
Carroll found many sitters through his connections with,
(Oxford University, Cameron's cultural heroes were largely
to be found in the worlds of Little Holland House and
Freshwater. The magnet that attracted such eminent per-
sonages to the former was its resident artist, Watts; at the
latter, itwas the poet laureate, Alfred Tennyson. Although
the two come almost at the end of this chapter, they are
in many ways Cameron's most important sitters. Their only
rival—even though his reputation has not survived to the
present day—is Henry Taylor, author and senior civil
servant, whom Cameron portrayed more often than any
other man (thirty times in this chapter, in addition to the
many studies of him found elsewhere in the catalogue in
the guise of biblical, Shakespearean, and other literary
characters).
In photographing these eminent men, Cameron's
avowed intention was “recording faithfully the greatness
‘ofthe inner as well asthe features of the outer man."* This
is surely why she so often opted to portray them in close-
up, wrapped in dark drapery, with anything that might
divert attention from their heads and faces ruthlessly
