"Miss Rafelee" is a small-format, black-and-white photograph from the "Actresses" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes in 1890. The portrait features a young woman, likely an actress, in a simple pose, wearing a patterned hat. The image is typical of the "trade cards" genre, which became popular in the late 19th century.
