This photo shows two actors on stage in 1894. It’s a theatrical portrait—not a painting—by a company that made many of these staged shots. You could buy these photos as small visiting cards. Later, bigger “cabinet cards” became popular. This one’s from the late 1800s, when acting photos were a hot new way to see stars. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
