Ida Mulle, from the Actors and Actresses series (N171) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1886 - 1890

This carte de visite, created by Goodwin & Company, features Ida Mulle, an actress, and was part of a series of trading cards produced for Old Judge Cigarettes in the late 19th century. The photograph, a classic example of the genre, captures Mulle in a simple pose, dressed in a white gown and bonnet, against a backdrop of foliage. These small collectible cards, printed on thin paper, were popular advertising items during the Victorian era and provided a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment.
