The story of this work

Overview

This photograph by Eugène Piron depicts actress Anna Judic and was produced during the Victorian era when photography was a new and medium. It is an albumen print from a glass negative, mounted on card stock, typical of the "cartes de visite" format patented in 1854 and widely circulated in the 1860s. The image is part of a larger collection of theatrical portraits assembled by Guy Tristram Little, who removed them from their original backings and compiled them into albums before donating the collection to the Victoria and Albert Museum in the early 20th century.
