Julia Margaret Pattle. The daughter of James Pattle, a British officer of the British East India Company and of Adeline de l’Etang, who was a descendent of French aristocrats, Julia Margaret Pattle was an English photographer, and an exponent of pictorialism. She lived in India and in France, and later, with her husband and six children, she settled in Wight, England. Her passion for photography did not begin to develop until 1863. She dedicated herself mainly to portrait and allegoric illustrations of tales and novels. Her images incorporate the dreamy atmosphere of the Victorian era, with a slight out of focus effect that lends her portraits of children and of women immersed in nature an ethereal quality
