Miss Parry, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Miss Parry," is a black and white photograph from the "Actresses" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. The card features a portrait of Miss Parry, a popular stage actress of the time, captured in profile. The image, a classic example of 19th-century portraiture, showcases the subject's elegance and poise. This card, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the widespread use of trading cards for advertising in the late 19th century.
