Abstract
Of the many surviving relics of the Victorian and Edwardian actress, the photograph is among the most enduring and more ubiquitous. The focus of this essay is the photograph as a testimonial to the actress’s existence, talent, appearance and career in two discrete performance media: the Victorian and Edwardian stage and, some decades on, in early motion pictures.
