These photos show actors from the 1800s posing for early portraits. They were taken by the London Stereoscopic Company in 1879. Most actors had these made for fans and collectors. The pictures used a new kind of paper print called albumen, pasted on stiff cards. These cards were like small visiting cards at first, then bigger ones later. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see these photos.
