About "The Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty," a  Photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron Taken in 1866

In this episode, I discuss the story behind a famous 1866
photograph by pioneering British photographer Julia Margaret
Cameron. We know what camera and lens Cameron used to shoot the
glass plate negative, but the captivating model Ms. Keene is an
enigma -- almost nothing is known about her.
