John Lacy & Co. is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Lacy & Co. made 19th-century photographs of actors on stage. Their “Guy Little Theatrical Photograph” shows a performer mid-scene, frozen in costume and gesture. The picture feels like a backstage snapshot more than a posed portrait. Look closer to spot the painted backdrop and the faint glow of gaslight on the actor’s face. Tap the Guy Little photo to step inside a Victorian theater’s dressing room.
