"Mlle. de Lussan," created by Allen & Ginter between 1885 and 1891, is a trade card depicting a portrait of a female performer. This card is a part of a series called "Actors and Actresses" which was created by Allen & Ginter, a well-known tobacco company, to be included in their cigarette packs. The card showcases Mlle. de Lussan, a popular actress of the time. The card presents a simple and elegant portrayal of the actress with her gaze directed downwards. The use of sepia tones and the card's overall design contribute to the vintage charm of this trade card. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
