Lady Clementina Hawarden was a British photographer who was one of the pioneering women in photography. Little is know of her life except through her wonderful photographs. She photographed only eight years from 1857-1865, but created hundreds of prints. Quite an accomplishment for the time, considering the developing and printing methods of early photography. Her early landscape images were made with a stereo camera. As her photography progressed she used wet collodion plates with various formats. Hawarden is best known for her amazing Victorian portraits of her daughters. Hawarden's Victorian style has been compared with the Pre-Raphaelite artists of the time.
