This is a trading card from the "Actors and Actresses" series created by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card features a sepia-toned photograph of actress Annie Pixley, who is known for her performances in vaudeville. She is pictured in a theatrical pose, with her arms raised and her hat tilted back. The card is a fine example of the collectible ephemera that was associated with the popular culture of the late 19th century.
