This is a photo by Brady’s studio. It shows Patty Chapman in costume. Victorian actors often sat for these small prints to sell to fans. The prints were called “cartes de visite.” They were about the size of a calling card and hugely popular in the 1860s. If you want to see more early photos like this, look up Victoria and Albert Museum.
