Gareth and Lynette, 1874

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photographic print created by Julia Margaret Cameron. The image depicts two figures embodying the characters from Alfred Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" a series of narrative poems based on the legends of King Arthur. In this mesmerizing composition, Andrew Hichens assumes the role of Gareth, reclining with his head cast down and eyes closed. His bearded countenance exudes an air of contemplation and vulnerability. Standing above him is May Prinsep Hichens as Lynette, her unbound hair cascading around her as she leans forward with her left hand gently resting on Gareth's chest. Her presence emanates strength and devotion. Cameron's artistic style shines through in this black and white albumen photograph from the 19th century. With meticulous attention to detail, she captures not only the physical appearance but also the emotional depth of these mythical figures. The photograph transports us to a romantic era where love, literature, and mythology intertwine seamlessly. It serves as a visual representation of Tennyson's poetic masterpiece while showcasing Cameron's mastery behind the lens. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this portrait stands as a testament to both British heritage art and Cameron's contribution to photography during that time period. It invites viewers to delve into their own imagination and embark on a journey through Arthurian legend alongside Gareth and Lynette.
