"Tsiges Ckotelet," from the "Actresses" series, is a carte-de-visite photograph created by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889. This image, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a woman, likely an actress, in a theatrical pose. The photograph was part of a larger set, known as the "Actresses" series, produced by Kimball & Company to promote their brand of cigarettes. The small size and simple composition of the photograph are characteristic of the carte-de-visite format, which was popular in the mid-19th century.
