"Yolande Wallace," a black and white photograph from the "Actresses" series, is a trade card issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes in 1890. It depicts actress Yolande Wallace, posed in a relaxed yet elegant manner. The card is a prime example of the advertising practices used in the late 19th century. This photograph, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases a popular form of collectible ephemera that flourished in the era of cigarette card advertising.
