This is a black-and-white photo from 1877. The artists Bradley & Rulofson took it at their studio. It shows Clara Vesey, an actor, in costume. Actresses often posed for these photos to sell to fans. The picture was made to fit inside a booklet called a “cabinet card,” popular in the late 1800s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
