"Grace George in Her Majesty" is a color lithograph created in 1900 by Frederick Moladore Spiegle. This piece is part of the "Actresses" series, which was commissioned by the American Tobacco Company to promote Turkish Trophies cigarettes. The image depicts the American actress Grace George, dressed in an elaborate gown and adorned with a crown, as she appears in the play "Her Majesty." The image is a fine example of early 20th-century American advertising, blending portraiture with commercial product placement.
