"Miss Bouchee, from the Actresses series" is a trade card from 1889 issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. for their brand of cigarettes. The card features a black and white photograph of a woman in a theatrical costume. The card's design is typical of the era, featuring a simple portrait against a plain background. The image is likely of the actress Miss Bouchee, who was likely popular in the 1880s. The card is a piece of ephemera that offers a glimpse into 19th-century popular culture and advertising.
