This is a trade card from the *Actors and Actresses* series for *Old Judge* cigarettes, featuring Mlle. Marianne, a performer from Paris. Created by Goodwin & Company between 1886 and 1890, the card is a black and white photograph depicting Mlle. Marianne in a theatrical costume. She is posed dramatically, leaning on a rock, adorned with intricate beading and a feathered headdress. The card's small size and detail, characteristic of trade cards, highlight its intended purpose as a collectible advertising piece.
