This photo shows Phyllis Broughton dressed as Suzanne in the play *Madame Favart* at London’s Avenue Theatre. Taken in 1887, it’s a snapshot of Victorian theater life. Actors used these small albumen prints to promote themselves, just like modern headshots. The Victoria and Albert Museum keeps this one in their collection.
