Pomona, 1872 - The Captivating Alice Liddell as the Personification of Abundance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing photograph taken by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1872, we are transported to a world where myth and reality intertwine. The subject of the print is none other than Alice Liddell, the enchanting twenty-year-old muse who inspired Lewis Carroll's beloved character, Alice in Wonderland. Cameron masterfully captures Alice as Pomona, the Roman goddess of gardens and fruit trees. Dressed in flowing garments adorned with flowers and foliage, she embodies fruitful abundance itself. Her long hair cascades down her back like a waterfall of golden strands. The soft focus technique employed by Cameron adds an ethereal quality to the image, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Through her lens, Cameron transports us to a timeless realm where mythology meets literature. As we gaze upon this portrait, we cannot help but be drawn into its allure. The delicate sepia tones evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while simultaneously highlighting the enduring beauty of nature. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Cameron's artistic style but also serves as a testament to her ability to capture both inner essence and outer beauty. It stands as an exquisite example of nineteenth-century photography that continues to captivate viewers today. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art among other heritage artworks from Britain's artistic school movements such as Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, this print remains an iconic representation of Julia Margaret Cameron's talent and contribution to photography during that era.
