Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1850 photographic by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a woman in a frilly dress mid-tap-dance kick. Her skirt flares up as her right leg lifts high. The background is plain white, so all focus stays on her. She’s Lottie Collins, a British star who popularized the song “Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay.” The picture was sold as a carte de visite—small photos meant to be collected and swapped. Check out the print itself at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
