EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tears from the depth of some divine despair" is an exquisite illustration for Alfred, Lord Tennyson's renowned poem, The Princess. Taken by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1875, this albumen print captures the essence of Victorian beauty and melancholy. The model in this photograph is May Prinsep, wife of Hallam Tennyson, son of Alfred himself. Dressed in a medieval costume, she holds a lute delicately in her hands as if it were an extension of her soul. Her expression speaks volumes - tears streaming down her face reveal the profound depths of despair that only someone touched by divinity could experience. Cameron's masterful use of light and shadow adds to the ethereal quality of this image. The contrast between darkness and brightness creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. It transports viewers to another time and place where emotions are raw and intense. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but be drawn into its poetic atmosphere. We can almost hear the haunting melodies emanating from May's lute as she pours her heart out through music. This image serves as a reminder that art has the power to evoke deep emotions within us all. In capturing such a poignant moment frozen in time, Julia Margaret Cameron immortalizes both Tennyson's words and May Prinsep's emotional journey. This print stands as a testament to their creative collaboration and continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
