This is a photo from 1865. It shows how actors posed for small visiting cards. Both men and women sat for these pictures in costume or plain clothes. Albumen prints on stiff card were the rage in the 1860s. Collectors filled albums with these tiny portraits. Later the larger cabinet cards took over. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
