This chromolithograph, "Muzette", is part of the "Queens" series of trade cards produced by William S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The card depicts a woman in a flamboyant, theatrical costume, with the title "Muzette" written in gold at the bottom. This card was likely intended to promote William S. Kimball & Co.'s pianos, a popular brand of the time. The image uses a combination of vibrant colors and fine detail, typical of chromolithographic printing, to create a visually striking and engaging image.
