This photo shows Katie Seymour, an actor from the 1800s. It was taken by the studio Martin & Sarrow using an albumen print on stiff card. These cards were used like tiny calling cards or mini-portraits. The image was made during a time when photography was brand new. People collected these small photos like trading cards—scenes, art, and famous faces. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more.
