This cabinet card, part of the "Actresses" series, depicts Anna Vislair, an actress, likely from the late 19th century. The monochrome photograph, likely a studio portrait, features a young woman wearing a crown and jewelry, suggesting a theatrical or performance setting. The card was issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company as part of a promotional campaign for Sweet Caporal cigarettes, a popular brand at the time. These cards, often featuring famous performers, were popular collector's items and represent a unique form of advertising in the late 19th century.
