This photograph shows Millie Hylton dressed as Don Juan. The photo was taken for a 'carte de visite', a type of small photo card. These cards were popular in Victorian times, and actors often had them made to give to fans. To learn more about this type of photography, look up the technique of albumen prints, which is related to the museum's collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
