"Lillian Russell" is a lithograph by Frederick Moladore Spiegle from 1900 depicting the famous American actress and singer Lillian Russell. It was part of the *Actresses* series, which was distributed by the American Tobacco Company to promote their Turkish Trophies Cigarettes. The portrait captures Russell in a stylish, late-19th-century gown with a dramatic feathered hat, and features a signature by the subject. This lithograph exemplifies the trend of using celebrity endorsements in advertising, and it showcases Spiegle's ability to capture the likeness of his subjects. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this artwork in its collection.
