"Omene" is a black and white photographic print from the "Actresses" series, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 as a trade card for Sweet Caporal cigarettes. It depicts a woman named Omene wearing a traditional head covering, an ornate veil, and several beaded necklaces, possibly an actress or performer of the time. The trade card, measuring only 2.5 by 1 7/16 inches, is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
