The Bride or My Ewens Bride

Item

Subject

Portrait of Annie Chinery Cameron (born c. 1851) by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879). Annie, Daughter of Dr. Edward Chinery from Lymington, married Cameron's son Ewen.

Description

Cameron set up a private studio at her Isle of Wight home at the age of 48, after her daughter gave her a camera, and she became an expert at using the collodion wet-plate process. She employed friends, servants and neighbours as subjects, including scientists Charles Darwin and John Herschel, as well as poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. Much of her work reflects the Pre-Raphaelite painting style which was popular at the time.
