Bradshaw’s photo shows Ellen Terry in 1890. Theatre fans bought these small photos to keep or trade. They were printed on stiff card with the studio name. This was the new “cartes de visite” craze. People collected them like cards or postcards today. By the 1890s they were already giving way to bigger “cabinet” photos. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
