Adeline Pattle-de l’Etang, 1874

RP-F-F17644

Adeline Pattle-de l’Etang (mother of the photographer) by Julia Margaret Cameron, 1874

Adeline Pattle was the mother of Julia Margaret Cameron, who was the aunt of Julia Jackson (the mother of Virginia Woolf). She was also the mother of Virginia Pattle, later Countess Somers. She is 81 years old on this photo, but she seems a lot younger though. Or she might just have aged very gracefully.

    Hello
    After researching further I just wanted you to know this is not Adeline de L’Etang…Adeline had dark brown eyes.
    This looks like the model who posed for the JMC photograph “Beatrice”.
    Regards
