Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1979 photographic by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This 1879 photo shows Violet Cameron dressed in costume. She stands against a plain backdrop, her face lit by soft light. Her gaze meets the camera, serious and direct. Back then, actors paid to pose for small photo cards called cartes de visite. These 2.5 x 4 inch prints were cheap enough for fans to collect. Each one had the photographer’s name printed on the back. If you like this, check the Victoria and Albert Museum for more early photos.
A black-and-white photograph depicts the actress Violet Cameron. The reverse bears a torn advertisement for a department store. The image is part of a larger collection of 19th-century photographs assembled by Guy Little and later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
