Iconic carbon print by pioneering British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879), titled Freddy and Lizzie, circa 1865. Measuring approximately 7 ½ x 5 ½ inches and housed in a period mat and frame (overall size 16 x 13 inches), this evocative portrait showcases Cameron’s signature blend of Pre-Raphaelite romanticism and emotional intimacy.

The image depicts two young children—Freddy and Lizzie—posed with a parasol in a composition that is both theatrical and tender. Cameron's use of soft focus, draped costuming, and classical overtones encapsulates the poetic and spiritual aesthetic for which she is celebrated. As with many of her works, the subjects were drawn from her immediate circle of family and friends, elevated through mythic, biblical, or literary staging.

Inscribed in red ink below the image is the caption: "Freddy and Lizzie" c.1865 / photographed by Julia Margaret Cameron, adding a personal and historical touch. The print remains rich in tone and contrast, showing fine preservation with only light expected handling and mat abrasion.

Cameron’s photographs rarely appear in this format with original carbon print integrity and such clear subject identification. A rare and desirable example from one of photography’s most important early artists, ideal for collectors of 19th-century portraiture, Victorian photography, or female photographic pioneers.
