"Mlle. Myrrh" is a sepia-toned photograph depicting an actress, Mlle. Myrrh, leaning against a fluffy white cushion, her gaze directed toward the viewer. The photograph is a part of the Actresses series (N245), produced in 1890 by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote their Sweet Caporal cigarettes. These small-scale cards are prime examples of trade cards, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
