Victorian Visual Culture

I came across this exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC called “The Pre-Raphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting, 1848–1875.”  I wanted to share it with you as it is relevant to our entire course but especially looking forward to our upcoming discussions about Julia Margaret Cameron and Lewis Carroll. I am posting two links, one is the official exhibit description and the other is a review of the exhibit from artdaily.org which I found more interesting.
