"M'lle Marriott" is a photographic trading card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 as part of their "Actresses" series to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card features a close-up portrait of a young woman, possibly an actress of the time, wearing a pearl necklace and looking directly at the viewer. The image is a typical example of the photographic trading cards that were popular in the late 19th century. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City and is considered a valuable piece of ephemera.
