Hellen Leteller, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Hellen Leteller" is a black and white photograph from the "Actresses" series of trading cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The card features a portrait of the actress Hellen Leteller, posed against a backdrop of rocks, with her right hand on her hip and her left hand shading her eyes. This trading card is a fine example of 19th-century photographic portraiture, capturing a specific moment in the life of a famous person. These cards are a great source of information about the lives of performers and popular culture in the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this piece as part of its collection.
