This photo shows actor Arthur Dacre. It was taken in the 1800s by Henry Frederick Van Der Weyde. The image isn’t a painting—it’s a photograph on stiff card. Victorian actors often posed for these studio shots. They were printed on small cards called “cartes de visite.” Collectors traded them like baseball cards today. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
