Alfred, Lord Tennyson (Dirty Monk), 1865 - A Glimpse into the Poet's Soul
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1865 and printed around 1893, offers a rare glimpse into the enigmatic persona of one of Britain's most celebrated poets - Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Known for his profound literary works that captured the essence of Victorian society, Tennyson is depicted here in a contemplative side view. The photogravure technique used by Cameron adds an ethereal quality to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. The subtle play of light and shadow on Tennyson's face highlights his rugged features and adds depth to his character. His unkempt appearance earned him the nickname "Dirty Monk" which only adds to the intrigue surrounding this portrait. As poet laureate during Queen Victoria's reign, Tennyson held immense influence over British literature. This photograph captures not just his physical likeness but also hints at the depths of emotions that fueled his poetic genius. It invites us to ponder upon what thoughts might have been running through his mind as he sat for this intimate portrait. Displayed as plate 3 from the album "Lord Tennyson and His Friends" this print holds historical significance as part of a collection dedicated to capturing moments shared between Tennyson and those closest to him. It serves as a testament to both Cameron's skillful artistry behind the lens and her personal connection with
