Miss Reynolds, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

This 1890 cabinet card, part of the "Actresses" series by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts Miss Reynolds. The image captures a portrait-style photograph of a woman, likely an actress, in a simple pose. This type of card was created for promotional purposes, specifically to advertise Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card's small dimensions, measuring 2 1/2 × 1 7/16 in., suggest it was meant for personal collection and distribution. The image's subject, Miss Reynolds, is likely a popular actress of the time, representing a unique snapshot of the intersection of entertainment and marketing in the 19th century. The piece is now housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
