Contextual notes:
Julia Margaret Cameron was born in 1815 at Calcutta in India to James Pattle, an official with the East India Company, and Adeline de l'Etang, a French aristocrat. She took up photography after she was given a camera in the early 1860's and mastered it quickly. She took soft focused portraits of the famous English Victorians that were in her social circle and these included the astronomer Herschel, the author Thomas Carlyle, Alfred Lord Tenneson and Charles Darwin.
