Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Done & Co., held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a 19th-century photograph from the Victoria and Albert Museum. It shows Violet Cameron, a stage actress, in character for a role. Back then, theater stars often posed for small photos to share with fans. These photos were called “cartes de visite.” They were about the size of a calling card and printed on thin paper. People loved collecting them. Later, bigger “cabinet cards” took over, until postcards replaced both. See what else the Victoria and Albert Museum has on display.
