History
Margaret Cameron was born in 1875 or 1876 and studied at GSA between 1891/2 and c1900. Her name appears in the School's Annual Reports in the late 1890s for awards in various subjects. The 1897 Annual Report (for 1895/6 session) records that she received her Art Class Teachers' Certificate and she received her Art Masters' Certificate the following year.
The Annual Report for 1900 records that she had been appointed Art Mistress at the Hamilton Crescent School.
At the GSA Governors AGM on 8 November 1946, the Secretary read a letter from Messrs Biggart Lumsden & Company regarding bequest from late Miss Margaret P Cameron of £100 free of legacy duty to be used to provide a prize ‘given annually to a lady student in training for Art teaching.’ The Margaret P Cameron Prize was first awarded in 1949 although it was first advertised in the prospectus of 1950-1. It began as a cash prize of £2 2s and had increased to £5 5s by 1960. In the early 1980s it was worth £20.
