Nella vita di Julia Margaret Cameron
Tutta la vita1864–1875
Eleven years of photography
Cameron's career as a photographer lasted from 1864 to 1875: in that time she made more than 900 photographs, portraying great Victorians — Darwin, Tennyson, Browning, Longfellow, Herschel, Watts, Trollope, Carlyle and the actress Ellen Terry. The Virgin Mary in her religious scenes was most often played by her housekeeper, Mary Hillier.
first half of the 1870s
Writes “Annals of My Glass House”
In the years of her mature work, crowned by the Idylls of the King, Cameron wrote her autobiography, “Annals of My Glass House”, which remained unfinished.
October 1873
Death of her daughter
In October 1873 Cameron's daughter died in childbirth.
1874–1875
Publishes her own “Idylls of the King”
Unhappy that the small size of her images in Tennyson's edition diminished their significance, Cameron issued, apparently at her own expense, a deluxe edition with twelve full-size photographs, her last large-scale project. Only three of her photographs appeared in Tennyson's book, and her separate album was a commercial failure.
