The story of this work

Overview

A sepia photograph by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company depicts Stella Colas in the role of Juliet from the play *Romeo and Juliet* at the Princess's Theatre. The image is an albumen print on card, typical of the "cartes de visite" format popular in the 1860s, when such theatrical portraits were widely collected. The photograph is part of a larger collection of theatrical photographs assembled by Guy Tristram Little and later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
