UNITED KINGDOM - DECEMBER 20: 'Dejatch Alamayou and Basha Felika; King Theodore's Son and Captain Speedy'. Photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) of Alamayou (1861-1879), the son of King Theodore of Abyssinia, with Captain J C Speedy. Alamayou was an orphan and Captain Speedy became his guardian. Cameron's photographic portraits are considered among the finest in the early history of photography. She set up a private studio at her Isle of Wight home at the age of 48, after her daughter gave her a camera, and she became expert at using the collodion wet-plate process. She used friends, servants and neighbours as subjects, including the scientists John Herschel and Charles Darwin, and the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
