This is a black-and-white photo from the 1800s. It shows Sophie Young, a stage performer. Victoria and Albert Museum owns it. Early photography was brand new then. Actors paid to have portraits made to sell to fans. These small photos were called cartes de visite. They fit in albums like trading cards. People collected them of famous faces, places, even art. Look up Thos. Fall.
