This is a photo from 1870. It’s a portrait of Fanny Addison by Frederick Richard Window. The photo is part of the Impressionism and Realism movements. Back then, actors often posed for small photos called cartes de visite. These were cheap to make and easy to collect. They helped fans remember their favorite performers. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
A sepia-toned photograph depicts Fanny Addison, an actress from the Victorian era, captured by Frederick Richard Window in 1870. The image is an albumen print mounted on card, typical of the "cartes de visite" format popular during the 1860s. A folded piece of card accompanies the photograph, bearing the actress's dedication and signature. The image is part of a larger collection of 19th-century theatrical photographs assembled by Guy Tristram Little and later donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
