The image was part of a series of collectible cards featuring prominent actresses of the era, showcasing the connection between tobacco and entertainment culture. The card's small size, measuring only 2 1/2 × 1 7/16 inches, reflects its intended function as a promotional item. This work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
