This photograph shows Eliza Johnstone, an actor from the 19th century. Bertin took it during a time when photos were new and exciting. Many actors posed for these shots to share with fans. Actors often had photos taken in costume or plain clothes. These were printed on stiff card backs with the photographer’s name. Collectors kept them in albums like visiting cards. Check out more photos by Bertin at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
