"Miss Perrin, from the Actresses series" is a cabinet card photograph created by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889. This photograph, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, depicts the actress Miss Perrin in a posed studio portrait. The image showcases a popular form of late 19th-century portraiture, featuring the subject in a theatrical pose, likely intended for use as a promotional piece for her acting career. The use of a backdrop, along with the dramatic lighting and the actress's pose, contribute to the overall theatrical feel of the photograph.
