This is a 19th-century photograph taken by Samuel Alex Walker. It shows Phyllis Broughton, an actor from that era. These pictures were popular keepsakes back then. Most actors had photos made for fans. These were small prints called cartes de visite. They were later replaced by bigger cabinet cards. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more like this one.
