Nominated for the William MB Berger Prize for British Art History
2017. The Victorians admired Julia Margaret Cameron for her
evocative photographic portraits of eminent men like Tennyson,
Carlyle and Darwin. However, Cameron also made numerous photographs
that she called 'Fancy subjects', depicting scenes from literature,
personifications from classical mythology, and Biblical parables
from the Old and New Testament. This book is the first
comprehensive study of these works, examining Cameron's use of
historical allegories and popular iconography to embed moral,
intellectual and political narratives in her photographs. A work of
cultural history as much as art history, this book examines
cartoons from Punch and line drawings from the Illustrated London
News, cabinet photographs and autotype prints, textiles and wall
paper, book illustrations and lithographs from period folios, all
as a way to contextualise the allegorical subjects that Cameron
represented, revealing connections between her 'Fancy subjects' and
popular debates about such topics as Biblical interpretation,
democratic government and colonial expansion. -- .
