Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Mora, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photograph by Mora depicts Maude Branscombe and belongs to a collection of 19th-century theatrical photographs assembled by Guy Little. Produced as an albumen print on card, it is an example of a carte de visite, a small portrait format popularized in the 1860s for collecting and exchanging. The image was later removed from its backing and mounted in an album before being donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The collection reflects the Victorian practice of documenting actors and actresses through portable photographic cards.
