About this work

This black-and-white photo shows stage actress Eleanora Duse in the 1800s. It’s a cabinet card, a kind of thick photo on cardboard popular back then. These cards were a big deal. People collected them like trading cards. Studios used them to sell their famous faces far and wide. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum for more on these old photos.
