This photo shows Adelina Patti, a famous singer from the 1800s. Lehrman took the picture in the 19th century. It’s a studio shot meant for fans. Back then, stars like Patti sold these photos to meet demand. The prints were small visiting-card sized at first. Later, bigger "cabinet cards" became popular. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
