"Belle Urquhart, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co." is a photographic trade card from 1889 by the company William S. Kimball & Company. The card features a portrait of Belle Urquhart, an actress, in profile, standing with her hands clasped. The image, likely intended for advertising, exemplifies the photographic portraiture style of the late 19th century. It's a small piece, only measuring 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 in., but it offers a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during that period. The card is a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, providing a unique historical document of the era.
