{"product_id":"julia-margaret-cameron-arresting-lisa-springer-9780500480861","title":"Julia Margaret Cameron: Arresting Beauty","description":"Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was one of the most innovative and influential photographers in the history of the medium. Though criticized in her own lifetime, her distinctive use of close-up and soft-focus is now considered groundbreaking. The Victoria and Albert Museum's extensive holdings represent the largest collection of her work anywhere in the world, newly united with treasures from the Royal Photographic Society. Drawing on this unparalleled collection, this book presents an engaging introduction to Cameron's life and work through more than 100 of her most important photographs. Three sections explore Cameron's unique artistry and range: from her early experiments in the art of photography, to her pioneering portraits of public figures such as Charles Darwin and Sir John Herschel, to her allegorical compositions and the artistic tableaus she created to illustrate Alfred Tennyson's \u003cem\u003eIdylls of the King\u003c\/em\u003e. Also including pages from the original manuscript of Cameron's autobiography and insightful explanatory texts, \u003cem\u003eArresting Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of her pioneering career and lasting legacy in one accessible and beautiful volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Springer, Marta Weiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500480869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500480861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 7.40w x 0.91d","brand":"Lisa Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070737051903,"sku":"9780500480861","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c1f76fc-fc36-41a7-ab83-f4b15fad1bd8.jpg?v=1685432071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/julia-margaret-cameron-arresting-lisa-springer-9780500480861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
