This photo shows Leonora Braham as Rose Maybud in the 1887 play *Ruddigore*. Herbert Rose Barraud took it during a Victorian era when actors posed for publicity shots. Albumen prints on cards were the social media of the day. Studios like Barraud’s sold stacks of these to fans who swapped or collected them. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more on this era of theater photography.
