Title: A mother's Vision of her girls
Review: Carol Mavor takes interesting and provocative photographs from Queen Victoria's era, and turns them into an intellectual tour de force. She dissects Hawarden's motivations and her work comparing it to her modern peer, Sally Mann. As an ardent and avid photographer of interesting women I think that Carol Mavor looks beyond the two dimensions of a photograph to see the soul of the subject...Hawarden was clearly not a woman of her time and class, but an artist beyond time. I am fascinated how well smart women can see beyond the superficial to the suprising, how emotion and sensuality is exposed through Victorian garments, or Virginia countryside naturalism. This book made me want to meet Carol Mavor, and you, the reader will be facinated by what she has to say as much as the photos say for themselves.
