In 1863, when Julia Margret Cameron (1815-1879) was 48, her daughter gave her a camera as a Christmas gift. After a few years, she became a photographer. Today, she is considered as one of the greatest portraitists in the history of photography.
Her models include Alice Liddell (1852-1934), and her nieces May Prinsep (1853-1931) and Julia Jackson (1846-1895). The description of one of Julia Jackson's portraits says that she was her favorite niece.
