"Miss Shall" is a monochrome photograph from the "Actresses" series created by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 as a promotional piece for Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The image features a woman, identified as Miss Shall, posed in a theatrical manner with a fan, captured in a studio setting. The photograph is a prime example of the use of celebrity endorsements in advertising in the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of American theater. The image is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
