Selected Cartes de Visite

A collection of intimate portrait photographs by the pioneering Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, presented in the popular carte de visite format. Each small-format card bears handwritten annotations in pencil on the reverse of the mount, recording credits, titles, and dates in an unidentified hand. The works reflect Cameron's distinctive approach to portraiture, characterized by her expressive use of soft focus and her ability to capture the psychological depth of her subjects.
