This photograph shows Marion Hood as Constance in a play. The photo was taken for a 'carte de visite' or 'cabinet card', which were popular collectibles. These cards were made from glass negatives and had the photographer's name on the card backing. You can learn more about photography techniques like those used by W. & D. Downey at the museum, specifically the Victoria and Albert Museum.
