Queen Victoria. This photograph was presented to Lord Lister in 1871, following his operation upon Her Majesty for an abscess in the arm-pit. She afterwards complimented him on 'a most disagreeable duty most agreeably performed'. ... This photograph became the property of Lord Lister's nieces, and was sold by auction on the death of Miss Edith M. Lister of Leytonstone, 1950.
This shot looked pretty dull in full colour, but I liked the red doors and windows. I learnt a new editing technique called selective colourisation to create this shot.
Alfred Tennyson, "The Dirty Monk". May 1865. Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England; May 1865; Albumen silver print. Photographed by Julia Margaret Cameron. Tennyson, Cameron’s neighbor at Freshwater, was one of the artist’s most faithful friends, whom she regarded as a hero and lionized in photographic portraits. By 1850, when she first came to know him, he was a widely admired public figure who had been appointed poet laureate and enjoyed an amiable relationship with the royal family. Cameron took great advantage of her proximity to Tennyson and created many portraits of him over the years. This particular study became one of the most well-known, since Cameron used it as the frontispiece in the first of her two illustrated editions of his Idylls of the King. It also appears in most of her presentation volumes, including the Getty’s Overstone Album, where it is the very first picture. To augment the commercial value of her Tennyson portraits and to promote her own status as an artist, Cameron often had the poet sign her prints, a task he particularly abhorred.
Tennyson is presented in striking profile as a biblical elder, clutching a tome in his left hand, a fitting metaphor for the strength of his convictions and commitment to action. His bust is draped in a dark cloak, and he appears unkempt, tired, and worn in the face, characteristics of the picture that led him to dub it “The Dirty Monk.”

Charleston, S.C. View of ruined buildings through porch of the Circular Church (150 Meeting Street). April 1865. Photographer: George N. Barnard. Sky is replaced in this version. Four African American Children sit at the base of a large Greek Column. Photographs of the Federal Navy, and seaborne expeditions against the Atlantic Coast of the Confederacy -- specifically of Charleston, S.C. 1863-1865. General Gillmore's success at Fort Pulaski earned him the conduct of a much more difficult undertaking: the reduction of the defenses of Charleston Harbor, with the aid of a squadron under Rear Adm. John A. Dahlgren. Operations began early in July 1863; by October hard work and heavy losses had reduced Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg (renamed Fort Putnam by the Federals) on Morris Island, and had silenced Fort Sumter. But no further progress was made until February 18, 1865, when Gen. William T. Sherman's approach overland broght about the evacuation of Charleston. The photographers who came to record the flag-raising ceremony at Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865, just 4 years after the surrender with which the Civil War opened, thoroughly documented the forts, Federal and Confederate, and the lovely old city, which fortunately had received only limited damage. Present-day addresses for the Charleton buildings are added when possible; the movement is in general inland from the Battery along Market Street, with excursions down side streets as they are reached, and left to the Arsenal at the then limits of town.
