PICTURE: made in 1864; was "cleaned" with the utmost respect.I am not exaggerating.

An artist:Julia Margaret Cameron (18151879)She was a British photographer.She was born in Calcutta, India (her great-niece Virginia Woolf). Cameron was educated in France,but returned to India, and in 1838 married a jurist who was twenty years her senior.In 1848,Charles Hay Cameron retired, and the family moved to London.In 1863,when Cameron was 48 years old,her daughter gave her a camera as a present,thereby starting her career as a photographer.Within a year, Cameron became a member of the Photographic Societies of London and Scotland.In her photography, Cameron strove to capture beauty.In 1875,the Camerons moved back to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).Julia continued to practice photography but complained in letters about the difficulties of getting chemicals and pure water to develop and print photographs.Cameron caught a bad chill and died in Ceylon in 1879.
