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

"Miss M. Detchon" is a carte-de-visite from William S. Kimball & Company's "Actresses" series, featuring a portrait of actress Miss Detchon, likely an advertisement for the company's cigarettes. Printed in 1889, the black and white photograph depicts Miss Detchon wearing a dramatic, embellished costume. The image was part of a larger set of trading cards featuring famous actresses of the time, a popular practice in the late 19th century, and today is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
