"Larive" from the *Actresses* series is a black and white photograph by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, part of a larger series of trading cards produced to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes in 1890. The photograph features a woman in a pleated dress, with her arms outstretched and her head tilted back. This card, like the rest of the *Actresses* series, captures the popular culture of the time, portraying the prominent actresses of the era. The image is a unique glimpse into the marketing practices of the late 19th century.
