This photo shows Mary Anderson from the late 1800s. It’s a theatrical portrait by Henry Van Der Weyde, made with glass negatives and albumen prints. In those days, actors paid for photos to sell or share. Small “cartes de visite” were popular first, then bigger “cabinet cards” took over. Look for more Guy Little photos at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
