Sarah Angelina Acland (1849-1930) is one of the most important photographers of the late Victorian & early Edwardian periods. Daughter of the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford she was photographed by Lewis Carroll as a child along with her close friend Ina Liddell sister of Alice of Wonderland fame. The critic John Ruskin taught her art & she also knew many of the Pre-Raphaelites holding Rossettis palette for him as he painted the Oxford Union murals. At the age of nineteen she met the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron whose influence is evident in her early work. Following in the footsteps of Cameron & Carroll Miss Acland first came to attention as a portraitist photographing the illustrious visitors to her Oxford home. In 1899 she then turned to the challenge of colour photography becoming through work with the Sanger Shepherd process the leading colour photographer of the day. Her colour photographs were regarded as the finest that had ever been seen by her contemporaries several years before the release of the Lumiere Autochrome system which she also practised. This volume provides an introduction to Miss Aclands photography illustrating more than 200 examples of her work from portraits to picturesque views of the landscape & gardens of Madeira. Some fifty specimens of the photographic art & science of her peers from Bodleian collections are also reproduced for the first time including four unrecorded child portraits by Carroll. Detailed descriptions accompany the images explaining their interest & significance. The photographs not only shed important light on the history of photography in the period but also offer a fascinating insight into the lives of a pre-eminent English family & their circle of friends. ...
