"Miss Rose Sutherland" is a carte-de-visite photograph from the "Actresses" series, created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. It was likely a promotional card for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, a brand popular in the late 19th century. The image depicts a seated Miss Sutherland, an actress, in a relaxed pose, dressed in a fashionable gown. The delicate sepia tones of the photograph lend a vintage charm to the piece, while the card's small size suggests its intended use as a collectible.
