This photograph shows Helena Dacre, an actor from the late 1800s. It was made by Conly, a photographer who captured many performers of the time. Albumen prints like this were printed on thin paper then pasted onto card stock. These “cartes de visite” were small visiting card-sized photos. They became hugely popular in the 1860s. Check out more portraits at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
