About "The Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty," a Photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron Taken in 1866
In this episode, I discuss the story behind a famous 1866 photograph by pioneering British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. We know what camera and lens Cameron used to shoot the glass plate negative, but the captivating model Ms. Keene is an enigma -- almost nothing is known about her.
