This is a Victorian photo by W. & D. Downey from around 1890. It shows two actresses, Adelaide Astor and Letty Lind. They posed for “cartes de visite,” small photos meant for fans. People loved collecting these in the 1860s. They were cheap keepsakes of famous faces. By the 1890s, bigger “cabinet cards” took over. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
