Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1872 photographic by London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows Isabel Bateman playing Desdemona in a 1872 stage version of Othello. It’s one of many albumen prints made for Victorian actresses’ publicity cards. Photography was new in the 1870s, and stage stars posed for collectible cards. These small photos were sold by the millions and helped spread fame beyond the theatre. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
