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

"Mlle. Naya," a 1890 lithograph by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, is one of a series of cards promoting Sweet Caporal Cigarettes. The card features a glamorous performer, "Mlle. Naya," in a theatrical pose, likely part of a stage performance, illustrating the trend of using celebrity endorsements in advertising during the late 19th century. The image is a striking example of trade cards, a popular form of advertising in the late 1800s, often featuring entertainers, athletes, and other celebrities. This card is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
