Julia Jackson (1846–95) was the eldest daughter of Cameron's sister Mia
and Dr John Jackson. She was one of Cameron's most photographed female
subjects. Her first husband Herbert Duckworth died prematurely in 1870. Later
she married Leslie Stephen, a writer and critic. Two of her daughters from
this second marriage became famous: the painter, Vanessa Bell and the author,
Virginia Woolf.
