This photo shows Marion Terry dressed as Mrs. Aylmer in a play called "The Days of the Duke." It was taken in September 1897 at the Adelphi Theatre. Theater fans collected these small photos like trading cards back then. They were called "cartes de visite." Later, bigger "cabinet cards" took over. If you like old photos, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
