Emilian Fehrenbach made a photograph of Lydia Howard in the 1800s. It’s kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Back then, actors often posed for small studio photos called cartes de visite. These photos were tiny—about the size of a calling card—and became hugely popular in the 1860s. People collected them like trading cards. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
