"Miss Moremo" is a carte-de-visite from the "Actresses" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image depicts a young woman named Miss Moremo, a performer of the time, in a simple, elegant pose, likely an advertisement for Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes. The card is a small, rectangular format (6.6 × 3.5 cm), typical of the time, and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This is a glimpse into 19th-century entertainment, showcasing the popularity of actresses and the use of advertising in the era.
