"Miss Jarbeau, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a carte-de-visite, a type of small photograph popular in the 19th century, created in 1889 by the company William S. Kimball & Company. This card, featuring a woman in a theatrical costume, is part of a series of trade cards issued to promote Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes. The image showcases the company's branding and likely depicts an actress known for her performances. The card is a valuable historical artifact and a fascinating glimpse into the marketing strategies of the late 19th century.
