Her work, with its distinctive, softly focused style, was not appreciated during her lifetime, and the first earnest treatment of Cameron as an artist came decades after her death in the 1926 book \u003cem\u003eVictorian Photographs of Famous Men and Fair Women\u003c\/em\u003e by Virginia Woolf and Roger Fry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReprinted in this volume, the 1926 text contains a vibrant account of Cameron’s life by Woolf, who portrayed her great-aunt as a vivacious woman full of talent, energy, and passion. Roger Fry’s essay “Mrs. Cameron’s Photographs” is the first serious scholarly study of her work, in which he argues that Cameron’s photographs show that the medium could be elevated from one of rote, mechanical reproductions to a form with true artistic potential. Readers will also find Cameron’s autobiographical essay “The Annals of My Glass House,” and her only surviving poem, “On a Portrait.” Twenty plates from the original volume are supplemented with additional photographs that enrich our understanding of Cameron’s style and the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn introduction by Tristram Powell acquaints the reader with this fascinating woman and her major contributions to early photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAdditional titles in this series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e192 pages \u003cbr\u003e4 1\/2 x 5 3\/4 inches\u003cbr\u003e71 color illustrations\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-60606-580-8\u003cbr\u003epaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGetty Publications\u003cbr\u003eImprint: J.
