This black-and-white photo captures actor Arthur Roberts onstage as Dandy Dan in *Dandy Dan the Lifeguardsman* at the Lyric Theatre, taken in December 1897. It’s part of a series Ellis, Alfred made for publicity. Albumen prints like this were pasted on cards so fans could collect them. Back then, photos were new and exciting—people loved trading pictures of actors and shows. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more.
