This photo shows actors Marion Terry and H.B. Conway in a play called *Gretchen*. It was taken in 1879 at the Olympic Theatre. Victorian actors often posed for these small photos called *cartes de visite*. Studios used glass negatives to make albumen prints on stiff cards. By the late 1870s, bigger *cabinet cards* replaced them. Check out the London Stereoscopic Company.
