This photo shows Kate Saville, an actor from the 1800s, captured by photographers Martyr & Morgan. It’s a small albumen print meant for fans to collect. Back then, photography was new and thrilling—people loved having tiny portraits of stars. The image was likely made for a “carte de visite,” a tiny calling-card-sized photo popular in the 1860s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
