The Duchess of Cambridge Patron?s Trail

The Gallery?s Patron, The Duchess of Cambridge, has chosen a selection of photographs from the exhibition for this special Patron?s Trail. Her Royal Highness, an enthusiastic, amateur photographer, has written personal captions which will be displayed alongside her selected works. The Duchess has also written a foreword to the exhibition catalogue.

Kate Middleton will make her official debut as an art curator later this month.

Using her art history degree from University of St. Andrews, the Duchess of Cambridge selected images for an upcoming exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) called ?Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography.? The show that opens in London on March 1 highlights the work of four early photography masters: Julia Margaret Cameron, Oscar Rejlander, Clementina Hawarden, and Lewis Carroll.

Yes, that Lewis Carroll. Middleton?s undergraduate thesis??Angels From Heaven: Lewis Carroll?s Photographic Interpretation of Childhood??explored the vast, under-appreciated photography portfolio by the Alice and Wonderland author, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Good! Better yet for the future of the monarchy, and what she and especially her husband will be.

Yougov says it all, each to its pecking order, the people like W&K just like they are, same goes to H&M.  The poll for the Brits, they clearly know what 2nd and 6th represent and their soft powers.
Don't forget the most recent  Ipso Mori poll (Curryong shared the link) clearly showing the highly favorable ratings for The Cambridges, Prince  Harry and Ms.Markle.  :thumbsup: William rated higher than his mother did!

Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry 'are the most liked royals since records began' | London Evening Standard

QuoteWilliam is the most liked, named unprompted by 62 per cent of Britons.

The level of public affection is even higher than that recorded for his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, which was 45 per cent in 1984 and 47 per cent in 1994.

Harry has surged in popularity in recent years, up from 36 per cent in 2012, the year pictures emerged of him reportedly playing strip billiards in a Las Vegas hotel room, to 58 per cent today

QuoteNational Portrait Gallery, London
This captivating show proves that the most exciting thing happening in Victorian art was photography, and the bold and revolutionary Julia Margaret Cameron was the greatest British artist of her day

The Guardian gave the exhibit a Five Star review.  :thumbsup:

Love, love love the work of Victorian photographers, Julia Margaret Cameron and Lutwidge Dodgson included. The National Gallery is a wonderful place.

I've seen some of these at a travelling exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria years ago. Breathtaking, especially when you consider what a performance it was to develop wet plates before 1880. I remember reading about Julia Margaret being overcome by some cyanide fumes one day and a couple of her sons had to walk her around so she didn't lose consciousness.

^^^ Thank you for sharing your experience @Curryong. I've read about the Victorian practice of taking a photo with their recently deceased family members as a means of capturing one last memory of their loved ones. The dead sometimes had "eyes" painted upon their eyelids to give the impression that they were still alive. I hadn't read about the background information regarding the toxic chemicals used during that era in order to produce prints, so I thank you for the information. I have to wonder if the length of time required for the subjects to hold their pose might have meant that some of them could have been affected by the fumes as well.

The V&A is the world?s leading museum of art, design, education and performance. It was established to make works of art available to all and to inspire British designers and manufacturers.
The Duchess previously visited the @V_and_A in June 2017 to officially open the Museum's new entrance, courtyard and exhibition gallery on Exhibition Road.

@sandy-Here is the official announcement of the V & A patronage from March 2018. She has visited the museum before in 2017.

She's currently the patron of three museums: Natural History, National Portrait Gallery and now V & A.

Would it be possible for Catherine to have an exhibit arranged that would feature old royal photos of the past?

It is possible that an exhibit like the one you described could be arranged. The V & A would need to work in conjunction with their counterparts in the Royal Collection.
