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

"Miss Olivia," from the "Actresses" series, is a carte de visite by William S. Kimball & Company, created in 1889. This small-format photograph, measuring just 2 5/8 × 1 3/8 in., showcases a posed portrait of a woman, likely an actress, against a simple background. The image captures her in a relaxed pose, with her arm resting on her head, hinting at a theatrical performance. This collectible card was part of a larger set issued by the company, which included portraits of other prominent actresses of the time. The card's design features the company's name and the word "Cigarettes" beneath a portrait, suggesting it was likely included in a cigarette pack or album. Today, the card is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to the cultural significance of these small-scale ephemera.
