"Mlle. Dauville, Paris" is a trade card from the "Actors and Actresses" series produced by Goodwin & Company in the late 19th century. This trade card, part of a set promoting Old Judge Cigarettes, features a photographic portrait of Mlle. Dauville, likely a Parisian entertainer, standing with a long stick in front of a suggestive backdrop. The small size and black and white imagery are characteristic of trade cards from this period. These cards were widely distributed and served as advertisements for the brand.
