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

"Miss Mortimer" is a cabinet card from the "Actresses" series, issued by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The portrait features a young woman, Miss Mortimer, in a light-colored dress, seated on a rock, with a thoughtful expression. The image is a classic example of a cabinet card, a popular photographic format of the late 19th century, which often featured portraits of celebrities and other prominent figures. The card's small size suggests it may have been intended for personal collection, but its inclusion in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection speaks to its historical and artistic significance. The card, with its depiction of a well-known actress, provides insight into the popular culture of the late 19th century.
