This is a photo from 1886. It shows Ben Davies in costume as Geoffrey Wilder for a play called *Dorothy*. The artist is Walery. Theatrical photos like this were new and popular in the 1800s. Actors posed in costume for fans and collectors. These photos were printed on stiff card—first small ones, then larger ones later. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
