Merchant of Venice before 1876

This photograph, titled "Merchant of Venice," by Alfred Brewer was likely taken before 1876. The image features a theatrical scene, capturing three individuals in a pose suggestive of a dramatic moment. The figures are well-dressed in period clothing and appear to be performing on stage, with a dog standing beside them. The photograph's intimate size, measuring only 116 mm high and 72 mm wide, suggests it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a memento of a performance or as a part of a collection of theatrical ephemera.
