EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print, captured in 1865 by renowned British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, transports us to a bygone era of artistic expression and cultural exploration. The subject of this photograph is none other than Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess known for her lyrical verses on love and desire. Cameron's mastery shines through as she delicately portrays Sappho with soft focus and exquisite detail.

Her hair elegantly styled in a bun adds an air of sophistication to her profile.
