"Card Number 165, Miss Millivard," is a black and white photograph from the "Actors and Actresses" series of trading cards issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. in the 1880s to promote Duke Cigarettes. This trading card features a portrait of Miss Millivard, an actress, in a simple, elegant dress. The card's simple design, featuring a single figure against a plain background, was typical of the era's trade card advertisements. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this artifact, which measures just over 2 inches by 1 inch.
