This is a trade card for Old Judge Cigarettes featuring the actress Viola Randell. Created by Goodwin & Company, the card showcases Randell in a simple pose, her head turned to the side, in a light-colored dress. These cards were part of a larger series featuring prominent actors and actresses of the late 19th century, and they were given away with the purchase of Old Judge Cigarettes. The card reflects the popularity of both tobacco products and the performing arts during this period. The artwork is a photograph and is classified as "trade card" and "print".
