Julia Margaret Cameron – an introduction
Introducing Julia Margaret Cameron, one of the most celebrated women in the history of photography
One of the most important and innovative photographers of the 19th century, Julia Margaret Cameron had close links to the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) throughout her career – her first museum exhibition in 1865 was held here and was home to her portrait studio in 1868. Today, our collection includes over 900 of Cameron's photographs, and letters from Cameron to Sir Henry Cole, the Museum's founding director.
