Abstract Two new publications examine and celebrate the contribution of Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) to the history of photography. The books were published in conjunction with a travelling exhibition of Cameron photographs circulating to the National Portrait Gallery (London), the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (Bradford) and the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles). Julian Cox, Assistant Curator of Photographs at the Getty Museum, and Colin Ford, founding head of the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (Bradford), compiled the catalogue raisonne and edited the accompanying essays appearing in Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs. Colin Ford is sole author of Julia Margaret Cameron: A Critical Biography. These splendid publications significantly expand our understanding of Cameron and her photography.
