This photo shows Rutland Barrington dressed as Archibald Grosvenor in the 1881 show Patience. It came from a London studio that made actor portraits for fans. The image fits two art movements of the 1800s, Impressionism and Realism. Cameras were still new, so stage stars posed for keepsake photos. Pick up another actor portrait by the same studio at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
