EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "So now I think my time is near" beautifully illustrates the essence of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem, The May Queen. Taken in 1875 by Julia Margaret Cameron, a renowned English photographer of the Victorian era, this albumen print captures a moment of profound melancholy. The model in this image is Emily Peacock, who embodies the character from Tennyson's poem. With her head bowed down and hands clasped together in prayer, she exudes an aura of solemnity and introspection. The delicate halo encircling her head adds a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene. Cameron masterfully conveys themes of death and dying through this evocative composition. As we gaze upon Emily Peacock's pensive expression, we are reminded that life is fleeting and our mortality looms ever closer. This poignant portrayal invites us to reflect on our own mortality and contemplate the meaning behind our existence. Religion also plays a significant role in this photograph as symbolized by the halos surrounding Emily's head. It serves as a reminder that faith can provide solace during times of sorrow or uncertainty. Julia Margaret Cameron's artistic vision brings Tennyson's words to life with remarkable clarity. Through her lens, she captures not only an exquisite visual representation but also elicits deep emotions within us all. This powerful image stands as a testament to both Cameron's skill as a photographer and Tennyson's enduring poetry.
