Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Gaston & Mathieu, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
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.
