This photo shows an actress in costume as the Goose Girl. She wears a bonnet and holds a stick. The stage backdrop has a painted forest and sky. Cecilia Loftus posed for this shot in 1897. The picture was sold as a small card called a “cartes de visite.” People collected these photos of stars like trading cards today. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more theater photos.
