The Metropolitan Museum features a series of photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron. Together, they inform of the great personalities of her time, from Lord Tennyson to the philosopher and historian Thomas Carlyle, as well as they stand as a series of variations around the Victorian portrait. With their slight mistakes and lack of perfection, they also reveal the exalted attempt of an amateur.
