拍品专文

The comely Mary Hillier as Mary of Bethany. Catalogue number 154 in Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs by Julian Cox and Colin Ford. At the time of publication of Cox’s work, only one print was known to exist, which had been a gift of the artist to Lord and Lady Elcho, and which remains in the family. The photograph offered here, then, is a previously unaccounted for print.
