Face A. L'ennemi, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Face A. L'ennemi," from the *Actresses* series, is a collectible trading card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. This monochrome photograph features a woman, likely an actress, in a bathing suit. The card is a prime example of the "trade card" genre popular in the late 19th century. These cards, often featuring images of celebrities or scenes of daily life, were given away with purchases of tobacco products to encourage repeat business. Today, these cards are collected by enthusiasts for their historical and artistic value. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this miniature work of art in New York City.
