This photo comes from a set called *Guy Little Theatrical Photographs*. It shows Edward Terry in a studio portrait, made in the 1800s. Back then, actors paid for these small photos to hand out or paste in albums. Printed on stiff card, they were called “cartes de visite.” People loved collecting them like trading cards. Look up how albumen prints were made at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
