The division contains photographic records dating back to the first theater photographs of the 1860s, which were in the form of postcards and known as vizitki, kabinetki, and buduarnye postcards. There are also some glass daguerreotypes covering the period from 1850 to the 1890s, and several relating to the museum founder, A.A. Bakhrushin. There are albums from famous collectors like A.Ia. Ketcher and V.V. Makarov with photographs of theater performers, and collections of photographs that belonged to M.N. Ermolova, V.F. Komissarzhevskaia, A.G. Koonen, A.P. Pavlova, L.V. Sobinov, and F.I. Chaliapin (Shaliapin). Photographs portray the history of the theater during the early years of Soviet rule with its mass theater productions and plays performed by the political “Blue Blouse” (Siniaia bluza) Theaters, the Proletkul't, and other studio theaters of the 1920s. The division collects photographs illustrating the development of themodern dramatic and music theaters in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the formation of new studio theaters and workshops.
