This is a black-and-white photo from 1883. It shows an actress, Marion Hood, playing Princess Blanche in a theater show. The photographer used a new glass-plate method to make this print. Theaters in the 1800s loved these small photos as souvenirs. Collectors bought piles of them. This one was made for fans to keep in their albums. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
