Adel Depois, from the Actresses series (N67) promoting Dixie Cigarettes for Allen & Ginter brand tobacco products 1885 - 1893

"Adel Depois, from the Actresses series" is a black and white photograph depicting a woman in a patterned dress, resting her arm on a table, looking directly at the viewer. Part of the "Actresses series" of trading cards produced by Allen & Ginter, the card was likely included in a pack of Dixie Cigarettes, a popular brand of tobacco products from the 19th century. The card, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the use of photography in advertising during that time.
