Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Mayer et Pierson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows Mlle Daubray, an actress from the 19th century. It was taken by Mayer et Pierson, a well-known Paris studio. The picture was sold as a "carte de visite," a small albumen print meant for fans to collect. These photos helped actors stay famous between shows. People pasted them in scrapbooks like trading cards today. Later, bigger "cabinet cards" replaced them. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
