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

This 1889 photograph, part of the "Actresses" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., features a portrait of Sidony Roman. This trade card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Roman, likely an actress or performer of the time, in a theatrical pose, possibly referencing a role she played. The image's small size and its inclusion in a cigarette card series highlight the popular culture of the late 19th century, where actresses were often depicted in advertising materials. The photograph's sepia tone and crisp details contribute to its historical value.
