This is a trade card from the *Actors and Actresses series* (N45, Type 1) produced by Allen & Ginter in the late 19th century. It features a portrait of actress Emma Mulle. The card's design is a simple, sepia-toned photograph of Mulle in a theatrical costume, holding a prop. The card is a good example of the collectible trade cards produced to advertise Virginia Brights Cigarettes. These cards are highly sought after by collectors of ephemera and historical artifacts.
