Miss Darly, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Miss Darly," from the "Actresses" series of trading cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889, features a portrait of a woman, likely an actress, wearing a diaphanous gown. The card, part of a larger collection of similar portraits, was likely distributed with the company's cigarettes. This type of trading card was common in the late 19th century, with companies using them as a marketing tool to promote their products. The image, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the lives and fashion of performers during this era.
