Julia Jackson was the niece and namesake of Julia Margaret Cameron, the great Victorian photographer. By 1874 when the photograph immediately above was made, Julia Jackson was a widow with three small children. A few years later she consented to marry Sir Leslie Stephen. By that marriage she became the mother of four more children, including the future famous writer Virginia Woolf.
The character of Mrs. Ramsay in To The Lighthouse was shaped by Woolf's memories of her mother, confirming what Mrs. Cameron recorded – "She bore about with her, she could not help knowing, the torch of her beauty, she carried it erect into any room that she entered."
