This photograph shows Nellie Farren, an actress, in a theatrical costume. She's posing in a studio setting. The photo is interesting because it was made for a "carte de visite", a type of small photo card that was popular back then. The "cartes de visite" were produced in large numbers and featured actors and actresses in various costumes. You can learn more about this type of photography at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
