This photo shows Giuseppe Mario in costume, taken by Bergamasco around 1871. Actors loved these small prints to share their image and build fame. Photography was new and exciting then. These cards were called *cartes de visite*. They fit in albums like trading cards. By the 1870s, bigger *cabinet cards* took over. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
