This 1890 lithograph from the "Actresses" series of trading cards is a promotional piece for the Allen & Ginter brand of tobacco products. The image is typical of the era, featuring a woman with a fashionable feathered hat and delicate features, and is a fine example of lithographic printing. The card is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of "Our Little Beauties" cigarette cards which, when collected, formed a set and were quite popular at the time.
