Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1865

Julia Margaret Cameron, a pioneer of photography, created this portrait of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in 1865. Known for her soft focus and dramatic lighting, Cameron captures Tennyson's thoughtful expression and the texture of his beard. This image is a testament to Cameron's artistic vision and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects. The photograph is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
