EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to the year 1867, where two remarkable individuals meet through the lens of Julia Margaret Cameron. The subject of this portrait is none other than Sir John Herschel, a renowned figure in astronomy and photography during the 19th century. Sir John Herschel (1792-1871) was not only an accomplished astronomer but also a pioneer in photographic processes. His contributions to both fields were immeasurable, making him an ideal subject for Cameron's artistic vision. Through her skilled use of wet collodion negative and albumen print techniques, she captures Herschel's dignified presence with astonishing clarity. The image measures 32.8 x 25 cm (12 15/16 x 9 13/16 in. ), showcasing every intricate detail of Sir John Herschel's features and expression. Matted at a larger size of 50.8 x 40.6 cm (20 x 16 in. ), it emphasizes the importance and grandeur attributed to this influential figure.

Her collaboration with Sir John Herschel resulted in an intimate portrayal that transcends time and invites us into their world. This particular print holds historical significance as it embodies two great minds converging within one frame—a testament to their shared passion for
