This is a cabinet card from the "Actors and Actresses" series produced by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge Cigarettes. It features a portrait of actress Minnie Palmer, a popular figure in the American theater in the late 19th century. The image captures Palmer in a casual pose, leaning back in a chair, her gaze directed off-camera. The card, a popular format for photographic prints at the time, is a testament to the growing popularity of cigarette cards as a collectible item.
