"Maxine Elliott, from the Actresses series (T1)" is a 1900 chromolithograph by Frederick Moladore Spiegle. It depicts the actress Maxine Elliott in a theatrical costume, with a flowing gown, dramatic cape, and elaborate lace collar. The image was part of a series of collectible cards distributed by the American Tobacco Co. to promote their "Turkish Trophies" cigarettes. This lithograph, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a fascinating example of the intersection of popular culture and fine art in the early 20th century.
