This is a trade card from the "Actors and Actresses" series created by Allen & Ginter for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. The trade card features a photograph of the actress, Mlle. Toine, posed in a theatrical costume. The sepia-toned photo captures the actress's expressive features and the ornate detail of her costume. These collectible cards were popular promotional items in the late 19th century and are now considered valuable historical artifacts.
