"Mlle. Iona, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a carte de visite from 1889 by William S. Kimball & Company. The photograph features a woman in a theatrical costume, likely an actress, sitting on a set of stairs. It was part of a larger series of cards, known as trade cards, used as advertisements for Wm. S. Kimball & Co.'s cigarettes. These cards were distributed as promotional material in the late 19th century.
