"Cozette" is a chromolithograph from the "Ballet Queens" series of trading cards issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. This particular card depicts a female figure in a theatrical costume, possibly a ballet dancer or actress, holding a fan in her left hand. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and use of chromolithography are typical of late 19th-century trade cards, a popular form of advertising and collectible in the United States during the period. The card is a testament to the cultural fascination with theater, dance, and fashion in the late 19th century.
