Guy Little Theatrical Photograph

About this work

In 1873, a London studio captured Rose Bell on stage. She played Paris in a comic opera at the Alhambra Theatre. The photo was printed on stiff card with the company’s name. This snapshot shows theater life in the 1870s. Actresses like Bell were stars of the day. Their images sold as collectible cards to fans. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
