Florence Baker, from the Actresses series (N203) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

"Florence Baker, from the Actresses series (N203)" is a carte-de-visite, a type of small photograph popular in the 19th century. Issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., a company known for producing trade cards, the image likely served as a promotional piece for their cigarettes. It features actress Florence Baker, dressed in a striped costume, standing in front of an ornately decorated base. The photograph's sepia tone and simple composition are characteristic of the time. These small-format cards were widely collected and offer glimpses into the lives of popular figures from the era.
