The multiple portrayals of Rosalind Franklin provides an interesting study on sexism, and society’s bewilderment as to how to portray a single woman scientist. #academicchatter #womenshistory #feministscience

Portrait photo, sepia toned, of a young woman in profile. From the lot essay: “The present lot shows Julia Margaret Cameron’s niece, a young and recently-wed Julia Jackson, modeled as an example of Victorian purity and grace. As a steady fixture in Cameron's work, Jackson appears in more than fifty portraits by Cameron, her natural beauty embodying the artist’s pursuit of ideal reality. The measured lighting of Cameron’s photographs demonstrates an intention to confront the unadorned beauty of her subjects; this particular example relies on Jackson's natural countenance to depict austere elegance. The present lot is a fine example of the manner and intention of Pre-Raphaelite paintings that informed and inspired Cameron’s work.“
Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879), “Julia Jackson,” 1867, albumen print, mounted on board, this print 9 7/8 x 7 7/8 in. (24.9 x 19.8 cm.), listed at Christie’s 2 Apr 2019. #vintagephotography #darkroom #PhotographyHistory #womenphotographers #womenshistory
