This guy spent the 1890s lurking backstage at London theaters, camera in hand, catching actors mid-makeup and quick-change. What’s wild is how those shots feel alive—no stiff poses, just performers caught in the messy human moment before the curtain rises. Start with Guy Little Theatrical Photograph; it’s less about the play and more about the person slipping on a wig in the wings.
