Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1892 photographic by W. & D. Downey, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a studio photo from 1892. It shows actor Henry Irving in costume as Cardinal Wolsey, made by photographers W. & D. Downey. The print is mounted on card, typical of Victorian theatrical photos. These photos were called “cartes de visite” at first. They were small, cheap, and people collected stacks of them, like trading cards. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
