This photo shows Minnie Hauk in her role as Carmen from the 1878 opera. It was taken by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, part of a trend where actors posed for promotional shots. In the late 1800s, these photos were printed on cards meant for fans or collectors. The image helped people remember the play long after the show ended. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
