Rose Coghlan, from World's Beauties, Series 1 (N26) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes 1888

This 1888 lithograph, "Rose Coghlan," is part of the "World's Beauties" series produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand. The card features a portrait of Rose Coghlan, a well-known actress of the time, in a simple yet elegant pose. The delicate details of her clothing, a pink shawl over a yellow dress, are rendered with a high level of realism, characteristic of late 19th-century portraiture. The card's small size (7 x 3.8 cm) makes it an example of the collectible trading cards popular in the late 19th century. Today, it resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
