This is a photo of actor M. Chéry. It was made by Auatol Pougnet in the 1800s. Back then, new photo tech let actors keep studio portraits like this one. These photos were called “cartes de visite.” They were small, like calling cards, and people collected stacks of them. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of their photo collection.
