Pesme made 19th-century theatrical photos. Their Guy Little Theatrical Photograph preserves a performer’s pose from the era’s stage. These images document actors, costumes, and lighting before film took over.

Look for the way the spotlight catches the fabric folds and the actor’s gaze, small details that tell big stories. Tap the photo to see the full frame and read the handwritten note on the back.
