A Life On The Stage
“The 19th Century Actors Photographs collection consists of 610 cartes-de-visite studio portraits of entertainers, actors, and actresses who performed on the American stage in the mid- to late 1800s. Many of these actors and actresses were little known outside of the major theater centers of New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. Such was the popularity of the theater, though, that even good “utility” actors and actresses could justify having these photographs made.” Northwest Digital Archive,includes Guide to the 19th Century Actors Carte de Visite Collection 1860-1885 from Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries. Photographic subjects include Comedians, Theater Dramatists, Managers, Musicians and Singers, Blackface, Costumes, and Women.
