About this work

This is a black-and-white photo from the 1800s. It shows actor M. Dumaine in a pose meant for a card you could collect. Studios made these small portraits for fans and friends. In the 1860s, these tiny photos were everywhere. People swapped them like early trading cards. The cards had fancy borders and the studio name printed on the back. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
