The story of this work

Overview

This 1886 photograph by Window & Grove depicts actor William Terriss and belongs to a collection of 19th-century theatrical portraits assembled by Guy Tristram Little. The image is an albumen print from a glass negative, mounted on card as part of the "cabinet card" format, which replaced the smaller "cartes de visite" in the late 1870s. The collection was donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum after Little’s death in 1953.
