Julia Jackson, 1867. Julia Margaret Cameron (British, 1815-1879). Albumen print from wet collodion negative; sheet: x cm (10 3/8 x 8 3/16 in.). One of the greatest portrait photographers of the Victorian period, Julia Margaret Cameron produced haunting images that transcended physical description, mirroring the inner lives of her subjects.
