This is a black and white photograph from the Actresses series by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. produced in 1889. The photograph features a woman, Mlle LaCarte, in a light-colored top and striped shorts, posed with her hand on her head and her feet on a pair of rolls. The photograph was likely a collectible card advertising Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes. The image is a fine example of 19th century photographic portraiture and commercial advertising techniques.
