This is a 19th-century photograph by Window & Grove. It’s part of a series called *Guy Little Theatrical Photographs*. Like many photos from this time, it was made as a carte de visite—small, collectible prints for fans of actors and actresses. These photos show stars of the Victorian stage in costume or everyday clothes. They spread fast in the 1860s as people traded them like trading cards. Later, bigger cabinet cards replaced them.
