"Bridal Trip" is a 19th-century trade card from the *Actors and Actresses* series, produced by Allen & Ginter for Virginia Brights Cigarettes. The card features a photograph of an unidentified actress, likely a popular performer of the time, in a theatrical costume, possibly for a play about a wedding or honeymoon. These trade cards, commonly used for advertising and promotional purposes, offer a glimpse into the world of 19th-century entertainment and the popularity of tobacco products.
