Guy Little Theatrical Photograph

About this work

This photo freezes Marie Litton on stage in 1879. She plays Miss Hardcastle in She Stoops to Conquer. The picture is a cabinet card, so it’s bigger than the earlier visiting-card photos of actors. The London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company made this shot. Victorian fans loved collecting these actor cards to paste in albums. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more.
