"Fanny Rice, from the Actresses series" is a 1890 promotional trading card from Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company featuring the actress Fanny Rice. The card is a sepia-toned photograph of Rice, in a simple dress and holding a fan, with a backdrop of foliage. This card, like others in the "Actresses" series, was given away with Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. These cards are a unique example of early 20th-century advertising and collecting culture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City holds this card in its collection.
