Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron picked up a camera at forty-eight: a Christmas present from her daughter and son-in-law, meant to amuse her in her solitude on the Isle of Wight. She turned a henhouse into a glass studio and in eleven or twelve years made about nine hundred photographs: large close-up heads of Tennyson, Carlyle and Darwin, and scenes from the Bible and literature. Critics scolded her for soft focus, but in 1865 a museum bought eighty of her prints.
