Actress wearing blue sleeveless bodice with red flower at neckline, from Stars of the Stage, First Series (N129) issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco 1890

This trade card, part of the "Stars of the Stage" series, features a portrait of an unidentified actress from the 1890s. Created by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their Honest Long Cut Tobacco brand, the card showcases the actress in a blue sleeveless bodice adorned with a red flower at the neckline. The image's style is characteristic of the late 19th-century chromolithographic printmaking process, often used for commercial advertising. The use of bright colors and a focus on the subject's features were common in this style.
