"Estelle, from the Ballet Queens series" is a chromolithograph trade card issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. This card features a female figure in a theatrical costume, adjusting her headdress, with a bold and colorful design typical of trade cards from the late 19th century. The artist's name is unknown, but the card is likely attributed to the company that issued it. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to the enduring appeal of these artistic ephemera.
