This chromolithograph, part of the *Stars of the Stage* series, depicts an unidentified actress wearing a pink flower in her hair. The image, created in 1891-1892 by W. Duke, Sons & Co., was likely used as a trade card to promote "Honest Long Cut" tobacco. The actress's soft features and the image's subtle colors create a sense of femininity and refinement. The print is a testament to the popularity of tobacco cards in the late 19th century and offers a glimpse into the era's fascination with stage actors.
