EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Alfred Tennyson, known as the Dirty Monk. Taken in 1865 by renowned photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, this albumen print showcases Tennyson's distinctive profile and scruffy appearance. Alfred, Lord Tennyson was a prominent poet during Queen Victoria's reign and held the esteemed position of Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. Despite his literary success, he humorously described himself as resembling a dirty monk. This image perfectly encapsulates that self-deprecating description with its disheveled beard and unkempt appearance. Measuring at 24.4x19 cm, this portrait is part of the Corcoran Collection housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. The gift of Joshua P. Smith has made it possible for art enthusiasts to appreciate this remarkable piece. Julia Margaret Cameron's skillful composition not only highlights Tennyson's physical features but also hints at his profound connection to literature through the presence of books surrounding him. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to his contemplative expression. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic figure from British literary history captured in all his unconventional glory. It serves as a testament to both Tennyson's enduring legacy as a writer and Julia Margaret Cameron's talent behind the lens.
