25 portretten van Polaire, Foscolla, Barnell, Boïe, Miette en Blanche Marcel before 1899

This anonymous collection of 25 portrait photographs, measuring 237 mm in height and 153 mm in width, dates back to before 1899. The images feature six performers – Polaire, Foscolla, Barnell, Boïe, Miette, and Blanche Marcel – in various poses, capturing their stage presence and the fashionable styles of the time. The small size and grid-like arrangement of the portraits likely reflect the popular format of trading cards or album pages, suggesting a personal collection or commercial publication.
