About this work

This photo shows Henry Irving playing Mathias in *The Bells* at the Lyceum Theatre. Taken in 1871 by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, it was printed on card for fans to collect. The card is an albumen print from a glass negative, a common way to make portraits back then. You’d see these in albums next to family photos or travel scenes. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
