Angie Acland

Acland, Angie (1849-1930), English photographer. A Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and Society of Arts, Angelina Acland—‘Angie’ to her family, ‘Miss Acland’ professionally—was photographed by Charles Dodgson and informally tutored by Ruskin, with whom she had a lifelong friendship. She lived at the family home in Broad Street, Oxford, into which Ruskin moved after his divorce at the invitation of her father, Sir Henry Wentworth Acland. Her first portraits, in the early 1890s, include perhaps her most famous, of Ruskin and Sir Henry. Acland's work consisted of landscapes and portraits, in colour and black-and-white.
