Squire Bancroft stares straight at the camera in this old photograph. Window & Grove made it long ago to show the actor’s face and pose. This is one of many “cartes de visite” made for fans. Actors posed for these small prints in costume or street clothes. They were cheap and easy to collect. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next time you’re in London.
