Virginia
Woolf (1882-1941) was the third child of Leslie and Julia Duckworth
Stephen (1846- 1895).
Woolf had three siblings: Vanessa, Thoby, and a younger brother
Adrian. In addition, Woolf had two half-brothers and two half-sisters
from her parents’ previous marriages: George and Gerald Duckworth,
Stella Duckworth, and Laura Stephen.
Leslie
Stephen treasured this picture of his wife and daughter, which
was taken by Julia Margaret Cameron’s son: “When I
look at that photograph with Virginia I at least see a mouth which
is an embodiment of such delicacy and tenderness as makes my heart
tremble.”
