Walery is an Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

These black-and-white photographs preserve the gestures and costumes of 19th-century actors. Walery shot stage portraits in London during the late 1800s, capturing performers between shows with handheld cameras. Five of them sit in this group, all titled Guy Little Theatrical Photograph, each dated from the 1880s back to the 1860s. Tap any one to zoom in on the star’s ruffled collar or the painted backdrop peeling at the edge.
