This cabinet card photograph from 1889, part of the “Actresses” series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., features Miss Urquhart, a performer. The image captures her in a theatrical pose, likely from a stage production. The card was produced as a trade card for the company’s cigarettes and showcases a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century, using the fame of actresses to promote their products.
