You can learn more about this type of photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A sepia photograph depicts Alma Stanley in the role of Lady Teazle from *School for Scandal*. Produced by the Imperial Photographic Company, the image is an albumen print mounted on card, typical of mid-19th-century theatrical cartes de visite. The photograph is part of a larger collection of such cards assembled by Guy Tristram Little and later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
