The story of this work

Overview

This sepia photograph depicts Eveleen Rayne, likely portraying the character Moya in *The Shaughraun*. Produced as an albumen print from a glass negative, it was originally mounted on a stiff card backing as part of the popular Victorian practice of creating "cartes de visite." The image is part of a larger collection of theatrical photographs assembled by Guy Tristram Little, which was later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
