"Mlle. Jager, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a carte-de-visite, a type of small photograph popular in the 19th century, created by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image features a woman, likely an actress, named Mlle. Jager. She is posed against a backdrop of rocks and foliage, her dress adorned with floral motifs. The photograph, printed on a small sheet of paper, showcases the photographic techniques of the era and offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century entertainment. The image was issued as part of a series of cards promoting William S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes.
