This photo shows Louise Clare acting the part of Caroline in the play *The Heir at Law*. Taken between 1870 and 1871, it’s an albumen print on card—typical of the “cartes de visite” popular back then. The Strand Theatre staged the show, and this card helped fans remember Clare’s performance. Collectors often swapped such cards like trading cards today.
