This photo shows Edward Atkins, an actor from the 19th century. Walter Rowland Holyoake took it. It’s a black-and-white image on stiff card—typical of the time. Back then, photos like this were called “cartes de visite.” People collected them like trading cards. They were small, cheap, and everywhere. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of these old theatrical photos.
