"Miss Raigl, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a cabinet card photograph from 1889 by the company William S. Kimball & Co. The photograph features a woman, Miss Raigl, wearing a coat and white pants, posed with a hat in her hand and looking off to the side. This photograph is part of a larger series of cabinet cards that feature actresses, produced by William S. Kimball & Co. to promote their brand of cigarettes. The portrait is a typical example of the photographic style of the late 19th century, capturing the sitter in a formal pose with clear lighting and a simple background. The card's small size and its use as an advertisement for cigarettes are typical of the format of the time.
