This 1900 lithograph by Frederick Moladore Spiegle depicts Amelia Brigham, an actress, as a "Modern Magdalen" in profile. The image, part of a series promoting Turkish Trophies cigarettes, uses soft, watercolor-like tones and delicate lines to present Brigham in a romanticized, almost ethereal light. The artwork, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the trend of using popular culture figures in advertising during the early 20th century.
