EDITORS COMMENTS
Ophelia (Mary Pinnock) by Julia Margaret Cameron, captured in 1867, is a hauntingly beautiful and moody portrait of the tragic Shakespearean character, Ophelia. The Victorian-era photograph features Mary Pinnock, a local girl from the Isle of Wight where Cameron lived and worked, portraying the iconic role with an ethereal and otherworldly grace. Cameron, a pioneering figure in photography, was known for her innovative techniques and her ability to evoke emotion and drama through her images. In this photograph, she masterfully captures the wild and unusual beauty of Ophelia, with her long, flowing hair cascading over the side of a bathtub, her profile turned away from the viewer, and her melancholic expression. The sepia toned image adds to the romantic and mysterious atmosphere, transporting us to the 19th century and immersing us in the tragic tale of Ophelia's descent into madness. The photograph is a testament to Cameron's artistic vision and her ability to bring literary characters to life through her photography. It is a strange and unusual work of art, full of emotion and depth, that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
