Abstract
This essay argues that both Julia Margaret Cameron and her great-niece Virginia Woolf challenge class and gender stereotypes through photographic irony Departing from the reading of Cameron as Woolf's staid Victorian foil, I suggest that Woolf was aware of the destablizing force of humor within Cameron's work.
