This book is a comprehensive catalogue raisonné of Julia Margaret Cameron's photographic works, gathering all known images from her career spanning 1863-1877. Cameron, a pioneering British photographer of the Victorian era, defied conventions through her experimental techniques and choice of subjects, which included notable figures like Tennyson and Carlyle. The book details her artistic methods, small-format images, albums, and commercial practices. It also features a bibliography of major publications, exhibition listings, and summaries of significant Cameron collections. Published with a 2003 traveling exhibition in England, the catalogue also includes stops at the Getty Museum.
