Mlle. Le Daunce, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Mlle. Le Daunce," from the *Actresses* series, is a cabinet card photograph created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. The image depicts a woman, presumably an actress, posing in a suggestive manner, leaning on a chair and draped in a fabric. The photograph was part of a series of collectible cards distributed by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. This type of advertising was common in the late 19th century, using imagery of popular figures to appeal to consumers. The photograph is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
