This chromolithograph, part of the "Stars of the Stage" series of trading cards, depicts a young actress adorned with a wide-brimmed hat festooned with yellow blossoms and green foliage. The card was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their "Honest Long Cut" tobacco in 1890. This piece of ephemera exemplifies the popular use of trade cards as a form of advertising in the late 19th century. The artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the fashion and entertainment of the era.
