Condition
In Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs, Julian Cox and Colin Ford locate 6 other prints from this negative: at The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Art Institute of Chicago; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Royal Photographic Society, Bath, England; and two at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin. Two variant images from this sitting not included in bound volumes of Idylls are cat no. 1159 and 1160.
This albumen print is irregularly trimmed to an oval shape. Grading this albumen print on a scale of 1 to 10--a 10 being an albumen print with deep brown dark tones and highlights that retain all of their original detail--this print rates a 7. The print is somewhat faded at its periphery, although it retains a good amount of detail at its center. In raking light, faint silvering is visible along the right edge.
