Definitely a Victorian image, and remarkable in that photography did not become public in any way until 1839.
I will try to find technical details about this particular image...

From the writing on the bottom, I'd say it was a carte d'visite - a photograph on a business-sized piece of cardboard-like paper. Very popular in the 1860s, which, from her dress, seems to be the period.
But I could be wrong.

(Okay, I like Quantum Leap and Red Dwarf, too.)
