Baby Parker, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Baby Parker," from the Actresses series, is a trade card created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The black and white photograph features a young actress, Baby Parker, sitting in a chair, dressed in a checkered dress with a white bonnet. This type of advertising, using popular figures and imagery to sell products, was common in the late 19th century. The card is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, measuring 2 1/2 × 1 7/16 inches.
