Artist
Burton & Co.
Burton & Co. is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Burton & Co. turned Victorian London’s backstage chaos into high art. Their photos feel less like stiff portraits and more like candid snapshots of actors mid-change—corsets half-laced, wigs askew—caught between drama and real life. You’ll get why actors loved them: flip through *Guy Little Theatrical Photograph* (1878) and you’ll see the sweat behind the sparkle. Hunt down the originals at Harvard’s Houghton Library to watch those 140-year-old faces blink out from the past.
