This 1891-92 chromolithograph from the "Stars of the Stage" series depicts a woman wearing a green turban, likely a stage actress. The card was issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote their Honest Long Cut tobacco brand. The image’s design is reminiscent of late Victorian era portraiture, with the subject's face and clothing rendered in detail, typical of chromolithographic trade cards. The image's small size and the inclusion of product advertising make it a prime example of tobacco advertising in the 19th century.
