- Abstract
Courtesy of Billy Rose Theatre Division, New York Public Library Digital Collections. is a theatrical photograph, but, as David Mayer argues, like all Victorian photographs of actors, it is not a photograph of performance (227). Henry Van der Weyde, photograph of Richard Mansfield playing both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, c. 1877. The practice of superimposing two or more photographs - of the same person at different times, ages, and stages, or of different members of a family, or even of members of a particular social "type" - is reminiscent of the work of Francis Galton and his experiments with composite photography.
