This photo captures Alma Murray playing Georgina in the play *Money* at the Vaudeville Theatre. Alexander Bassano took it in May 1882. It’s a theatre portrait, not a candid shot—actors posed for these to sell or share. Photography was new then. Most actors had studio photos made for fans. This one uses an albumen print on stiff card, a popular style in the 1800s. If you like this, check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
