This photo shows Mlle. Fürstenberg, an actress from the 1800s. It was made by L. Angerer using a glass negative, then pasted on stiff card. These were called "cartes de visite" and sold in shops. They were tiny photos on visiting-card sized paper. People collected them like modern trading cards. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more photos like this.
