This photograph shows two actors caught in a moment from a play at London’s Olympic Theatre. It’s a snapshot from 1874, printed on stiff card for fans to collect. Back then, photos were new and exciting. Actors like Henry Neville and Ada Cavendish posed in costume so people could stick their pictures in albums. If you like this, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
