This photo shows Ellen Terry playing Cordelia in *King Lear* on stage in 1892. It’s part of the Guy Little Collection now at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The picture freezes a moment from a famous Shakespeare play. It’s a cabinet card, a big photo on stiff paper meant for fans and collectors. Cabinet cards were popular in the 1870s–1890s, so this one fits right in. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more stage photos from this era.
