About this work

This is a 19th-century photograph by Tourtain. It shows Mlle Baretta, likely an actress of the day. Victorian theater stars often posed for these portraits to sell to fans. The photo would have been printed on thin card, sized like a visiting card, meant to be collected. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these theatrical photographs.
