This is a formal portrait photo from the 1800s. It shows Adelina Patti, a famous singer of the time. The photo was made using an early method called albumen printing. These prints were pasted on stiff cards with the photographer’s name. People collected them like trading cards. They were popular for a few decades in the 1800s.
