This is a 19th-century photograph of actress Sophie Croizette. It’s by Ferdinand Mulnier, shot in a style that was brand new at the time. Victorian actors often posed for small “cartes de visite.” These paper photos fit in an album like visiting cards. The trend lasted until bigger “cabinet cards” took over in the late 1870s. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
