A section of the poem was published as ‘Morte D’Arthur’ in 1842, and then expanded into a twelve-poem collection telling the tale of King Arthur. Cameron, by now a friend of Tennyson, admired the poem and created twelve photographs to accompany the text. The photographs appear in the 1875 book, Illustrations by Julia Margaret Cameron of Alfred Tennyson’s Idylls of the King and Other Poems.’ ~{*}~ -- source link
