Description
For his subjects Wilson has assembled a deliberately eclectic group of three men and three women: Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria; Charlotte Bronte, the author of JANE EYRE; William Ewart Gladstone, the outstanding British prime minister of the nineteenth century; John Henry Newman, one of the leading religious and social thinkers of the period; Josephine Butler, feminist and Evangelical reformer whose work on behalf of prostitutes and young children procured and abused for sexual purposes anticipated revelations of pervasive child abuse a century later; and Julia Margaret Cameron, pioneering photographer whose legacy includes many of our most vivid images of the Victorian era.
