This is a photo of Lucy Buckstone from a play called The Beaux' Stratagem. It was taken in 1847 by Elliott & Fry. The photo shows her in costume for the stage. Before phones or social media, stars like Buckstone relied on these photos to stay famous. They sold them to fans as small cards to collect. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
