Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1880 photographic by Vanderweyde, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A sepia photograph depicts Violet Cameron in character as The Countess from the operetta Olivette, staged at the Strand Theatre. Produced by Vanderweyde around 1880, the image is an albumen print mounted on card, typical of the "cabinet card" format popular during that period. The photograph forms part of a larger collection of theatrical cartes de visite and cabinet cards assembled by collector Guy Tristram Little, later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Dry plates and gaslight flickered behind the curtain as Vanderweyde turned stage moments into still portraits.
