From the Actresses series (N57) promoting Our Little Beauties Cigarettes for Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products 1890

This 1890 lithograph, part of the "From the Actresses series" by Allen & Ginter, is a tobacco card advertising "Our Little Beauties" cigarettes. The card depicts a woman, likely an actress, in a relaxed pose sitting on a rock. The image, common for advertising at the time, likely appealed to a male audience and contributed to the association of tobacco with a fashionable and glamorous lifestyle. The card is part of a collection of over 1000 "From the Actresses" cards, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
