Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Disderi & Co., held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows Louise Clare, an actress from the late 1800s. It’s a studio shot made by Disderi & Co., a common practice then. People loved collecting these small portraits on cards. The photo’s part of a trend where acting stars shared their image widely. These “cartes de visite” were tiny calling cards with photos—cheap enough for fans to buy and swap. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
