Guy Little Theatrical Photograph is a 1884 photographic by W. & D. Downey, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows Mrs. Langtry, an actress in the 1800s. It was taken by W. & D. Downey in around 1884. Back then, these photos were usually albumen prints on stiff card. Famous actors had these made to sell to fans. The prints came in two sizes: small visiting-card style or bigger cabinet cards. Both were popular but gave way to postcards later.
