Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1892 photographic by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a man dressed as a character from a play. He's wearing a fancy costume and posing for the camera. The photo is a snapshot of a moment in theater history. To learn more about how this photo was made, look at the technique of albumen prints, which is similar to the photographic technique of sfumato, but for now, check out the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
A sepia photograph depicts Jack Robertson in the role of Alfredo from the production *The Mountebanks* at the Lyric Theatre in 1892. The image is an albumen print, a common format of the period produced from glass negatives and mounted on card. It was part of a larger collection of theatrical portraits assembled by Guy Tristram Little, who donated the items to the Victoria and Albert Museum in the early 20th century.
