About this work

This is a late 19th-century photograph by Nadar. It shows Maude Branscombe, an actor from that era. These small portraits were called "cartes de visite" and were mass-produced on stiff card. This style of photo became super popular in the 1860s. People collected them like trading cards, swapping pictures of actors, scenery, and famous art. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
