About this work

This black-and-white photo shows Christine Nilsson, a famous singer. It’s from the late 1800s and was made by Fritz Luckhardt. Back then, photos like this were new and exciting. People collected them like trading cards. They even came in two sizes—smaller “cartes de visite” and bigger “cabinet cards.” Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of these old photos.
