About this work

This is a Victorian-era photograph of actress Georgina Weiss. It was made by the team Moira & Haigh, then new to the field. Called a *carte de visite*, it was a small calling-card size print meant for fans to collect. These little portraits helped stars like Weiss stay popular. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these tiny celebrity photos.
