Hi, an exhibition of her work has just opened at the National Portrait Gallery in London. There was an interesting and very good review of her work in tpday's 'Independent' newspaper. Unfortunately that review is not on their website, but there is a review of a recent biography here: http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=374422
Apparently she was only active in photography for 10 years. She wasn't a dowager at the time, by the way. She was just a slip of a girl at 48 when she started photographing - hardly old, anyway. And not widowed. She stopped photographing when she went to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) with her husband, who was some sort of Empire-builder.
