My wife Kathleen Edwards Hayslett is an artist and spent her career as the director of a non-profit IN Philadelphia, and later as a curator of works on paper here at the University of Iowa museum of art. She has championed women artists. I remember first seeing prints by Cameron at the UIMA.
A Blue Plaque? At the very least. A great book might detail the contributions of wealthy 19th C. amateurs to the history of photography. I would start with Daguerreotypist Girault de Prangey, followed by Fox Talbot, Felix Taynard and dozens more. De Prangey, working in the 1840s, made some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen.
