Review

Befitting its subject, this life story of one of the outstanding portraitists in the history of photography, this book is handsome and well designed with numerous illustrations in acrylic gouache and photographs, of course. Appended along with source notes, bibliography and index is an impressive list of major museums where Julia Cameron's photographs may be seen. An interesting description of her childhood and adult years makes meaningful the later account of Julia's unorthodox but highly successful skills. Of special interest to young people of about ten years and up with an interest in photography, the book includes careful drawings of the earliest cameras. Recommended to budding photographers as well as to both public and school libraries.

Overall Book Score: very good
