[Vwoolf] NYTimes Gift Article: Julia Margaret Cameron, Portraitist Who Broke the Rules (and Virginia Woolf) in NYC

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Thank you!

Very interesting article (with at least one odd glitch).

The author seems to have made a strange calculation about Virginia Woolf's birth/age when he states that, "[Julia] Jackson married again, to Leslie Stephen, and with him had four more children, including Virginia Woolf, who was 3 when Cameron died." Cameron died on 26 January 1879. The calculation adds six years to Woolf's life. Woolf was born 25 January 1882, not 25 January 1876. I think “including Virginia Woolf who was born three years after Cameron died” would have been more…factual. Sigh. No copy editors or fact checkers at the Times?

Did anyone else cringe when reading “kids” instead of “children” in the article?
