Gabrielle, from the Actresses and Celebrities series (N60, Type 2) promoting Little Beauties Cigarettes for Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products 1887

"Gabrielle" is a black and white photograph from the *Actresses and Celebrities* series created by Allen & Ginter in 1887 to promote *Little Beauties* cigarettes. The image depicts a woman wearing a fashionable hat and a large bow around her neck. This photograph, like the rest of the series, is a prime example of the trade cards used to promote tobacco products in the late 19th century. The use of celebrity images helped to appeal to a wider audience and promote the *Little Beauties* brand of cigarettes. The trade card is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
