Cameron, Julia MargaretLittle Margie [Thackeray] 'Christ Kind', c.1865, albumen print, 34 x 26cm, laid onto original mount and signed by Cameron, framed and glazedNote: "When Julia Margaret Cameron took up photography in 1864, she passionately embraced allegory as her preferred artistic impulse and arranged her sitters in poses taken from classical literature, the Bible, contemporary poetry, and recent history. She called these photographs her 'fancy subjects'…" [Rosen, Jeff, Julia Margaret Cameron's 'Fancy Subjects', 2016, p.1]Julia Margaret Cameron's photograph of Little Margie, commonly known as 'Christ Kind', or Christ Child, is an example of Cameron's attraction to allegory in her work. Here, Cameron has recreated the Germanic Christkind - the infant Jesus who delivers presents to children on Christmas Eve. Margie Thackeray, the adopted granddaughter of William Makepeace Thackeray (and his great-niece), is pictured with her hair brushed out, almost to create a halo around her head, giving her an angelic appearance. Cameron's use of strong light catches the crown of the child's head, which is contrasted with the dark behind, again to create the perception of holiness. Julia Margaret Cameron certainly regarded her photography as an artform, writing to Sir John Herschel (father of the sitter in lot 295): "My aspirations are to ennoble Photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art…" [Rosen, p.2, quoting from Ford "The Cameron Collection]. To this end, Cameron manipulated her photographs to some extent. Cox and Ford write: "If parts of an image were unsatisfactory to her, she engraved lines onto the negative, scratched and painted the collodion, and doctored the image as necessary to suit her expressive needs." [Cox, Julian & Colin Ford. Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs, 2003, p.50]. Similarly, Cameron chose to create a slight blur in many of her photographs, by not tightening her lens to the same extent as many photographers of the day, and eschewing devices such as head restraints for her sitters [Cox & Ford, p.50] This effect can again be observed in the diffusion of Margie Thackeray's hair.

17 x positive glass plate magic lantern slides by Tempest Anderson, (1846-1913) the eminent ophthalmologist, volcanologist and photographer. Black bordered plates, with white labels, annotated by hand in black ink. Three smaller square plates sized 8.2x8.2cm, annotation now illegible. The remaining fourteen plates (8.2 x10cm) have clearly written descriptions, all initialled 'T A' in Tempest Anderson's hand and dated 1896.Subjects: These images were taken in the Alpine areas of France and Italy. They depict aspects of the Mer de Glace, glacier tables, crevasses etc in Chamonix, Mont Mallet and Mont de Saxe. The subjects and annotations reflect several of Anderson's passions; geology, the Alps and photography. Anderson was at the forefront of technological advances in photography, he made his own equipment and even invented a panoramic camera with revolving lens, which was later independently produced by Kodak, so it is interesting to see him note which lenses he used on some of these plates. Typical annotations include: 'Lateral moraine near mauvais pas' 'Bergschrund Col du Géant. Telephoto lens' & 'Bergschrund at foot of La Vierge above Géant icefall, horizontal stratification. Vertical veining'.
