This is a portrait of Miss Duremey, part of the Actresses series of trading cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image, likely taken from a photograph, shows the actress in a simple pose, with her arm resting on her chin and a slight smile on her face. The card, measuring just 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 in. (6.6 × 3.5 cm), was likely included in packs of cigarettes, a popular method of distributing collectible cards in the late 19th century. These cards provide a glimpse into the popular culture of the era and offer a fascinating look at the actresses who graced the stage in that time.
