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

"Sadie Martinot," from the *Actresses* series (N245), is a black-and-white photograph issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card features a bust-length portrait of the actress Sadie Martinot, captured in a simple pose with her gaze cast downwards. This small-format card, measuring just 2 1/2 × 1 7/16 in., exemplifies a popular trend of using celebrity images to promote commercial products in the late 19th century. Today, it is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
