This photo shows Carrie Coote, an actor from the Victorian era. It’s a portrait meant for fans to collect. The photo was made in the 1800s when photography was brand new. Most actors had studio shots like this. These small photos were pasted on card stock and shared like trading cards. Later, bigger cabinet cards took over. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
