This is a Victorian-era photo by George Cooper. It shows actor William Henry Powell in a studio portrait. The photo fits between two art movements: Impressionism and Realism. Back then, photos like this were new and popular. People collected them the way we collect postcards today. This one would have been pasted on cardboard, like a calling card. Check out more photos at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
