The Royal Collection preserves several of Julia Margaret Cameron's now-famous photographic portraits. Mrs. Cameron believed her creative genius lay in two separate directions. In line with that conviction she divided the work of her camera along distinct lines of gender – etherealized studies of working-class women on the one hand; brooding, mythologizing portraits of privileged males on the other. Queen Victoria acquired several of the latter, but none of the former.

Prince Albert died of typhoid in 1861. Twelve years later Victoria was still maintaining his "organ room" at Buckingham Palace exactly as he had left it. She kept up several of these memorial rooms in her several residences, but I have not discovered exactly how many.
