Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1880 photographic by London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photograph shows a single figure, Alice Lethbridge, posed in costume. It’s a studio shot from the late 1800s, made on a stiff card with the photographer’s name printed below. These cards were called “cabinet cards,” about the size of a postcard. People collected them like trading cards, swapping images of actors and actresses. The prints were made from glass negatives, then glued onto cardboard. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
