Mlle. Rositi, from the Actresses series (N245) issued by Kinney Brothers to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes 1890

"Mlle. Rositi" is a carte de visite photograph from the Actresses series produced by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1890. It is one of many images in the series, produced to promote Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The image shows a woman in a lace shawl, likely an actress of the time. The carte de visite format was popular in the 19th century, and these small photographs were often collected and traded. This photograph, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, provides insight into the world of late 19th-century entertainment and advertising.
