Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Neurdein Frères, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a 19th-century photograph of Gioacchino Rossini. The Neurdein Frères studio captured the composer in a time when photos were new and thrilling. People used these pictures to remember stars and share their images. Photography was still fresh then. Actors posed for studio shots on stiff cards called “cartes de visite.” Studios sold millions of these in the 1860s as collecting photos became popular. Look up Neurdein Frères next.
