This black-and-white photo shows Maude Branscombe, an actress in the late 1800s. It was made by a London company that specialized in theater images. The picture was printed on stiff card, a popular way to share actor portraits back then. Most actors had these small photos made to hand out or sell. Collectors kept stacks of them in albums. They were like early star trading cards. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
