Looks like the Bush Ranger Kelly gang's armour from colonial Australia. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
jon sauder said:
yeah, jay. i was thinking the same thing. it looks about the same size and weight as the kelly's armor... Does anybody know if this was, in fact one of the kelly gang members' armor? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nedkellysarmour1882.jpg
BobMeade said:
I'm an Australian, and that does indeed look like a set of Kelly gang armour.. Here's an interesting article about the ship SUCCESS and the armour: glenrowan1880.com/success.htm It suggets that a replica copy of the armour was displayed on the ship, although it was purported to the viewing public to be genuine. Notably, some the LOC Bain collection photographs appear at that internet link.. The photographs appear oto have made their way there independent of the LOC. More on the ship SUCCESS here too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_(prison_ship)

collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O140844/guy-little-theatrical-... ‘Cartes de visite’, the size of formal visiting cards, were patented in 1854 and produced in their millions during the 1860s when it became fashionable to collect them. Their subjects included scenic views, tourist attractions and works of art, as well as portraits. They were superseded in the late 1870s by the larger and sturdier ‘cabinet cards’ whose popularity waned in turn during the 1890s in favour of postcards and studio portraits.

The play 'King Arthur', with Forbes-Robertson as Sir Lancelot, was first produced in 1895. Presumably the earliest date for this photo / cdv. See - books.google.com.au/books?id=22Xp03gBd-MC&pg=PA25&... He speaks (creepy!) - youtu.be/ijfJDtNDFqQ He moves, 'Hamlet' 1913 (camp!) - youtu.be/s4YVWqhPDr8

There are a number of photos of him in the National Portrait Gallery in London, including some other acting roles.(Not this one, though).

Quite a lot of plate for someone who's 12th century at the latest.
