From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by London Stereoscopic Company, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company features the actor Lytton Sothern and was produced as a carte de visite, an albumen print on card stock introduced in 1854. Part of a larger collection assembled by Guy Tristram Little, the image was later removed from its backing and mounted in an album before being donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Cartes de visite, small portrait photographs popular in the 1860s, were widely collected alongside scenic views and art reproductions. The collection, including this portrait, was presented to the museum in the early 20th century.
