"Seven Ravens" is a carte-de-visite, a small photograph, produced by Goodwin & Company as part of their "Actors and Actresses" series for Old Judge Cigarettes. The series, produced between 1886-1890, features a single female performer, Seven Ravens, dressed in a feathered costume, suggestive of an avian character. The photograph showcases her striking pose and detailed costume, emphasizing the popular Victorian fascination with theater and performance. The image is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
