Portrait and genre photography of the Victorian period typically employs vivid artifice and unconcealed theatricality, placing it in opposition to today's conventional portraiture. The Victorians embraced a coexistence of fact and fiction, and in these images we find that masquerade, costume and performance all become elements of identity, regardless of whether the photographer's purpose is portraiture, documentary or fine art.
