"Kate Uart" is a black and white photograph from the "Actresses" series, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 as a trade card to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The photograph depicts actress Kate Uart, who was known for her comedic performances, dressed in a theatrical costume, possibly for a play, against an outdoor backdrop. This card, along with other cards in the series, exemplifies the use of celebrity endorsements in marketing. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
