About Adeline Grace Hill Clogstoun
Adeline Grace Hill Clogstoun
"The sacred and lovely remains of my little adopted child Adeline Grace Clogstoun." Julia Margaret Cameron
Adeline was running through the house playing with her sister Blanche and Beatrice who was Julia Margaret Cameron’s son Eugene Hay Cameron’s daughter. They were warned about rough-housing but on June 8, 1872, ten year old Adeline Grace Clogstoun died of her injuries. Perhaps, a good starting place is with the words of Mrs. Cameron, “It has been like a mysterious dream losing that blossom of my old heart thus and in such a way! …I did not after all have my darling opened tho’ I felt sure it would all be confirmed-the Doctors all three thought so but for Blanche’s sake I did not want it confirmed to darken her whole life! for Beatrice got on Addie’s back & then Blanche with a spring from the couch bounded on the top of Beatrice’s Back so that fragile Addie had the double weight-So fragile even the 6th day her sweet little joints were all plastic and supple. Her divine glorified beauty…” A letter written to Anne Thackeray by Julia Margaret Cameron on June 17, 1872, Eton College Library
Julia Cameron made four different "memento mori" photographs of Adeline, the granddaughter of Cameron's eldest sister, who died in a tragic accident while roughhousing with her sister. Each image was carefully composed to show the deep emotional connection between Cameron and the child.
