This major exhibition is the first to examine the relationship between four ground-breaking Victorian artists: Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79), Lewis Carroll (1832-98), Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822-65) and Oscar Rejlander (1813-75). Drawn from public and private collections internationally, the exhibition features some of the most breath-taking images in photographic history. Influenced by historical painting and frequently associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the four artists formed a bridge between the art of the past and the art of the future, standing as true giants in Victorian photography.--National Portrait Gallery.

What did he or she actually look life? A question that has been asked throughout the ages, and never with more interest than when the face is a royal one. But putting faces to names is only one facet of the story of 900 years of British monarchy. In this book, portraits of the kings and queens are accompanied by brief accounts of their lives, showing how they attained the throne and how the line of succession was maintained or overthrown. It also traces the history of the Crown itself and tells how the absolutist rule of the early kings evolved into our constitutional monarcy.

This book calls attention to the circumstances in which pictures of Hepburn have been published and consumed, thereby illuminating the public's relationship with the images over the course of the twentieth century. The book accompanies a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London (2 July to 18 October 2015), organised with support from the Audrey Hepburn Estate.
