This cabinet card, titled "Lillian Harvey," is a part of the "Actresses" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image features actress Lillian Harvey in a seated pose, dressed in a white gown. The card itself is a common form of photographic reproduction in the 19th century, notable for its large size compared to the typical carte de visite.

Kimball & Co.'s Cigarettes," further emphasizes its role in promoting commercial products.
