A characteristic example of Cameron's work: "Her potraits penetrate the soul and nature of her sitters; as she once said, 'My whole soul had endeavoured to do its duty towrds them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer, man' ...Others used her soft style of portraiture: none could match her results."

[Andrew Wheatcroft, 'The Tennyson Album', 1980]
