This is a chromolithograph trading card from the "Actresses" series issued by Allen & Ginter in 1890 to promote "Our Little Beauties" cigarettes. The card features a young woman standing in a garden setting, possibly an actress promoting the brand. This card was part of a larger collection of trading cards produced in the late 19th century to promote tobacco products, and these cards are a valuable source of information about the history of advertising, fashion, and popular culture.
