"Leslie Carter as Zaza" is a 1900 chromolithograph by Frederick Moladore Spiegle depicting actress Leslie Carter in costume as the character Zaza. Created for the American Tobacco Company's Turkish Trophies cigarette brand, this portrait exemplifies the use of celebrity endorsements in advertising during the turn of the 20th century. Carter, known for her dramatic roles, is captured in a theatrical pose, highlighting her elaborate costume and the brand name at the bottom of the image. This artwork is a prime example of the cultural significance of both cigarette advertising and the rise of celebrity culture in the early 1900s.
