This carte-de-visite, a popular format for photographic portraits in the 19th century, is part of a series depicting actresses. The image shows Miss Boulard, a performer likely known for her work in theater, holding a small card. The photograph, created by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889, is a promotional piece for their brand of cigarettes, "Wm. S. Kimball & Co's Cigarettes." The portrait captures a glimpse into the world of theater and the popular culture of the late 19th century.
