About this work

In 1890s London, fans could buy a small photo of their favorite actress. Wooley & Dow made this cabinet card of Kate Vaughan in the 19th century. She’s shown in full costume, ready for the stage. These cards were bigger than earlier visiting-card photos. People collected them like trading cards. They helped actors stay famous between shows. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
