This is a studio photo from 1886. It shows two actors: Florence Dysart as Lydia Hawthorne and Marion Hood as Dorothy Bantam. The photo was taken during a play called *Dorothy* at the Gaiety Theatre. It was made with an albumen print on card—like a trade card for actors back then. These photos helped fans remember stars long after the show ended. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
