This photo shows an actress in costume from a popular play. It was taken in 1880 by W. & D. Downey. Actors often posed for these photos to share with fans. In the 1800s, photography was brand new. Many stars made these prints to sell or trade. Some became so famous they filled whole albums. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
