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

"Miss Norton" is a trade card from the "Actresses" series issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card depicts Miss Norton, a popular actress, standing in a theatrical pose. The image, a sepia-toned photograph, captures the dramatic style popular in the late 19th century. The trade card is a prime example of the use of celebrity endorsements for advertising purposes, a technique that is still prevalent today. The card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
