This is a vintage trading card featuring Amelia Glover, a popular actress from the late 19th century. The card, produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Duke cigarettes, showcases a formal portrait of Glover, dressed in a white gown adorned with a floral garland. It is part of the "Actors and Actresses" series, a collection of cards featuring prominent theatrical figures of the era. The card's sepia tone and simple composition are characteristic of late 19th-century photographic portraiture.
