The photograph shows Charles Blondin the Acrobat and his family. This photo was taken in a studio, a common practice for actors and actresses back then. They would dress up in costume or everyday clothes for these photos, which were then printed on card backing. You can learn more about this type of photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
