Ulrich Grob

Ulrich Grob left behind one known photograph: Guy Little Theatrical Photograph, shot in the 19th century. That’s all that survives from his work today. The picture is a black-and-white studio shot of a performer in costume, probably from a play or vaudeville stage.

There’s no movement label for Grob, no “ism” attached. If you tap into this single print, you’ll see a frozen moment of 1800s performance culture. Want to move on? Tap the photograph itself to zoom in on the actor’s face and costume details.
