This is a trade card from the *Actresses* series, produced by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889. It features a portrait of the actress Lillian Grubb, posed in a theatrical setting, leaning back in a chair, as she gazes thoughtfully at the viewer. The image is typical of the *carte de visite* style popular in the 19th century and is a prime example of a *trade card* from the era.
