The story of this work

Overview

This 1874 photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company depicts Connie Gilchrist and is an albumen print from a glass negative, mounted on a card backing typical of Victorian "cartes de visite." Such small portrait cards, introduced in 1854, were widely collected during the 1860s alongside scenic views and art reproductions. The image is part of a larger collection of theatrical photographs assembled by Guy Tristram Little, who donated the albumen prints to the Victoria and Albert Museum in the early 20th century.
