This photo shows a woman in a dark dress posing on stage. She’s Juliette Nesville, playing Miss Decima in 1891. Back then, actors paid for these small photos to hand out. They were printed on stiff card—about the size of a modern business card. People collected them like trading cards. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more theater photos like this one.
