Julia Margaret Cameron (née Pattle)
b. 6-11-1815; Calcutta, India
d. 1-26-1879; Ceylon

Julia Cameron, noted for her portraits that were romantically slightly out of focus, was given her first camera by her daughter; within a year she was a member two photography societies.

Her social standing put her in the unique position of being able to photograph notable neighbors and visitors during the time she lived in England. Cameron was also the great-aunt of author Virginia Woolf.

Carriera's ability to represent textures and patterns, faithfully re-creating fabrics, gold braid, lace, furs, jewels, hair and skin and show-casing the sumptuous, material life-style, made her a favorite of rich and influential patrons.

Maria Cosway, born to English parents in Florence, was an artist as well as a musician. She married Richard Cosway, a painter to the Court of the English royal family in 1779, who despite her artistic gifts and recognition of her talent, stifled her artistic pursuits. In Paris she met, and subsequently became involved with Thomas Jefferson (they were introduced by the American artist John Trumbull). She went on to found schools for girls in Lyon, France and in Lodi, Italy.
