I couldn't believe this photo is 140 years old

This photo is wonderfully intimate and informal
I've put it on a webpage here

http://www.jlara.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Ellen.html

Just thought I'd share it with you.

Wow.

She is so pretty. It looks so modern. Then again pictures always look so different. I have also taken a few pictures myself that look so antique. I think that that's what is so amazing about photographs. Very Happy

blissed I would like to use this photo somewhere - I should imagine it is out of copyright by now? Do you have the copyright info?

The link above doesn't work now - this one should:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Ellen_Terry_at_age_16_by_Julia_Margaret_Cameron.jpg

The photo is of actress Ellen Terry.

It's a striking photo, particularly because it seems so modern. Ellen Terry was considered by many to be the most skilled actress of her day.

For another whose photographs seem uncannily modern, google Evelyn Nesbit.
