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

"Miss Lafero, from the Actresses series" is a carte de visite (CDV) from 1889, created by William S. Kimball & Company and part of a series of trading cards featuring actresses. The CDV, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features Miss Lafero, a performer in a stage costume, likely a burlesque or vaudeville act. The small size of the card and the simple composition of the photograph highlight the focus on the subject, typical of the genre, which was prevalent in the late 19th century.
