"Miss Myatt" is a carte-de-visite photograph created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 as part of their "Actresses" series to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The photograph is a close-up portrait of a woman, likely an actress named Miss Myatt, featuring her looking slightly upwards towards the viewer. The image is printed in sepia tones, a common characteristic of the time period. This piece is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and exemplifies the use of popular culture in advertising during the late 19th century.
