"Miss Letty" is a monochrome photograph from the "Actresses" series of trading cards, commissioned by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. It depicts a woman, likely an actress named Letty, in a light-colored robe, seated in a chair, and holding a book in her lap. The card was part of a larger series of promotional ephemera for the tobacco company. The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
