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.

<p>For over a century, the photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79) have fascinated historians, photographers and collectors. Cameron produced hundreds of searching portraits of the most eminent figures of the Victorian age as well as romantic pictures of beautiful young women, and strikingly original - if often controversial - literary illustrations. Today her prints fetch staggering prices at auction. This volume, an illustrated critical biography, brings together Cameron's finest prints from museums and private collections in Britain and America. It reproduces many hitherto unseen works, casting new light on the artist's links with Victorian life, literature and science. Colin Ford's text compares Cameron's works to those of other artists and charts her increasingly confident progress towards her greatest achievements, firmly establishing Julia Margaret Cameron as one of the most important figures in the history of photography.</p>

Brassai, Capa, Kertesz, Moholy-Nagy and Munkasci radically changed the face of photojournalism and art photography between the two world wars. With essays by leading authorities in the field, this book examines the way in which the extraordinary activity of these five men established Hungary as the centre of art photography at the time."
