This book explores the photography of Julia Margaret Cameron, a prominent pictorialist from the 19th century, highlighting her integration of traditional art content with modern photography. The first volume in the In Focus series to feature a 19th-century photographer, it presents approximately fifty images from the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection of 298 Cameron prints. Commentary by Julian Cox, the museum's assistant curator of photographs, is provided alongside essays from Judy Dater, David Featherstone, and others. The book includes a transcript of a colloquium discussing Cameron's work and a chronology of her life and contributions to photography.
