This is a 19th-century photo of actor George Grossmith. It was taken by Alfred Ellis. The photo shows what Victorian theater stars looked like offstage. Photography was brand-new then. Most actors posed for small photos called cartes de visite. These fit in albums like baseball cards today. Next time you're in London, check out more at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
