Published to accompany the major retrospective exhibition in London and Bradford during 2003, this catalogue raisonne outlines and illustrates the life and work of the British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79). She took up the camera at the age of 48 and made over 1000 images over the next 14 years. Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her own art through exhibition and sales, and pursuing the eminent men of her age - for example, Alfred Tennyson, John Herschel and Thomas Carlyle - as subjects for her lens. This volume gathers together every one of Cameron's known images and, in addition, there is information on her life and times, initial experiments, artistic approach, techniques, small-format images, albums, commercial strategies, sitters and sources of inspiration. Also provided is a selected bibliography of publications on Cameron, a list of both contemporary and modern exhibitions of her work, and a summary of important collections where her pictures can be found.

As New. 0892366818. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--576 pages. Description: "According to one of Julia Margaret Cameron's great-nieces, 'We never knew what Aunt Julia was going to do next, nor did any one else. ' This is an accurate summation of the life of the British photographer (1815-1879), who took up the camera at age forty-eight and made more than a thousand images over the next fourteen years. Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her art through exhibitions and sales, and pursuing the eminent men of her time (Tennyson, Herschel, Carlyle, etc. ) as subjects for her lens. For the first time, all known images by Cameron, one of the most important nineteenth-century artists in any medium, are gathered together in a catalogue raisonne. In addition to a complete catalogue of Cameron's photographs, the book contains information on her photographic experiments and techniques, artistic approach, small-format photographs, albums, commercial strategies, sitters, and sources of inspiration. Also provided is a selected bibliography of all major Cameron publications, a list of exhibitions of her work, and a summary of important Cameron collections worldwide."

This is a BIG book, this is more like a collection...think baseball card collection...the pictures are about 3 inches wide by about 4 inches high...multiple per page. There are very few large images, no idea how this book is so expensive...
