Now that my house move has been accomplished (my sanity more or less intact), I've been surfing the Internet for a little light relief. I stumbled upon The University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections' wonderful 19th Century Actors Carte-de-visite Collection, which is well worth a visit. It comprises black and white scans of no less than 610 cartes-de-visite studio portraits of entertainers, actors and actresses who performed on the American stage from the 1850s to the 1880s. Link.
