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

"Litta, from the Actresses series" is a trade card created by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote their Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card features a photograph of an actress named Litta, standing in front of an ornate doorway. The actress is wearing a flowing dress with a large, pleated skirt. The card is a prime example of the use of celebrity endorsements in advertising during the late 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, holds the trade card in its collection.
