This photo shows Susan Galton as Mopsa in *Barbe Bleu*, a play from 1866. It was taken by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company around the same year. The photo fits both Impressionism and Realism movements. Victorian actors often posed for these pictures in costume. They sold them as small cards for fans to collect—like early trading cards.
