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

"Victoria Schilling" is a cabinet card from the "Actresses" series issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890 to promote Sweet Caporal cigarettes. The card features a sepia-toned photograph of the actress Victoria Schilling. She stands in an outdoor setting, holding a small object in her right hand and her left hand resting on her chest. She is dressed in a white dress with a floral pattern and wears a white hat. The card is a prime example of trade cards, a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century, and offers a glimpse into the world of popular culture of the time.
