Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1868 photographic by Southwell Brothers, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows Miss Herbert from 1868. It’s a theatrical portrait by the Southwell Brothers. The picture is a cabinet card, a stiff photo on cardboard that people collected back then. Actors often posed for these cards to sell to fans. They were made with glass negatives and albumen prints, common in Victorian photo studios. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum online next.
This 1868 albumen print by the Southwell Brothers depicts actress Miss Herbert in a theatrical photograph typical of the Victorian era. Produced as a carte de visite, the image was mounted on card stock bearing the photographer’s imprint and intended for collecting and exchange. The photograph forms part of a larger album assembled by Guy Tristram Little, whose bequeathed theatrical collection was later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
