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

"Miss Renwood," from the Actresses series (N245), is a trade card issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card features a black and white portrait of Miss Renwood, a popular actress of the time, dressed in a sailor's uniform and standing against a backdrop of a maritime scene. This card, like others in the series, is a prime example of the use of popular culture to promote commercial products in the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of theater and advertising of the era. The card is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
