This photo shows Kate Vaughan in costume for a play called *The Bohemian Girl*. It was taken in 1877 by the London Stereoscopic Company. The photo captures a moment from the Gaiety Theatre. Back then, photos like this were new and exciting. Actors posed for “cartes de visite” in costumes and everyday clothes. These small photos fit in albums, like trading cards for fans. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this photo in person.
