Mary Anderson, from the Actors and Actresses series (N45, Type 7) for Dixie Cigarettes 1885 - 1891

This is a "trade card" from the "Actors and Actresses" series by Allen & Ginter. Printed in the late 19th century, these cards featured images of popular actors and actresses of the day and were given away with Dixie Cigarettes. The card features a portrait of actress Mary Anderson in a theatrical pose, likely from one of her stage productions. These trade cards were widely collected and offer a glimpse into the popular culture of the late 19th century.
