This 1887 photograph is one of many actor portraits made during the Victorian era. Edward Smith captured Phyllis Broughton in costume, though her exact role isn’t known. These small portraits were called *cartes de visite*. They fit in albums and helped actors get work. Later, sturdier *cabinet cards* replaced them. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of these.
