About this work

This photo shows Anna Judic, a popular actress from the 1800s. It’s a portrait, but not just any photo—it’s one of those early “cartes de visite” meant for fans to collect. Back then, people loved trading photos of stars like trading cards today. These tiny prints were the Instagram of the Victorian age. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more gems like this one.
