"Pauline Hall, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co." is a black and white photograph from 1889 by the company William S. Kimball & Company. It features the actress Pauline Hall in a theatrical pose, holding a fan in her right hand. The image is a portrait of Pauline Hall, printed on card stock and part of a larger series of trading cards. These cards were given out as promotional materials for the company's cigarettes. The image itself is a full-length photograph of Pauline Hall in an ornate dress, with her right foot slightly raised. She stands with a fan in her right hand and her left hand on her hip. Her face is turned towards the viewer, giving a direct, almost challenging gaze.
